Can a company be an incumbent and challenger at the same time? How do you diversify into new industries and target markets? Does a bold new strategy require a fully new mindset of “going for more”? Is collaboration with partners the way forward for successful companies?

Hear Khalifa Alshamsi explain why he believes e& money will win in an overcrowded market, how open finance and AI will shake up the industry, why the time for super-apps in the region has come and what skills the younger generation needs to hone in today’s interconnected world.
