4 08:45 09:30 Registration, refreshments and networking 09:30 09:45 Chairman s Opening Remarks SEMINAR PROGRAMME DAY ONE Tuesday 29 November 2016 FinTech is a fast moving area that is attracting many billions of dollars of worldwide investment. Disruptive technologies continue to fuel innovation and threaten vulnerable institutions across the FinTech spectrum, with various sectors (such as payments) experiencing the biggest shake ups. But where are we in the cycle of change and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead? 09:45 10:45 Investment Strategies Panel Fuelling FinTech Today s FinTech companies are rapidly unbundling financial services and offering increased choice, flexibility and customer experience. But what sort of investment are we seeing and what sort of engines are investors looking to fuel? Venture capital is sometimes called rocket fuel for its ability to allow companies to grow quickly and to lofty heights. But is it always the best option and what else is available? Pretty Young Thing what are investors looking for in FinTech companies? Are network effect businesses more likely to succeed? Crowdfunding and alternative investment opportunities Solid, long term family office and angel investments Christian Hernandez Managing Partner, White Star Capital, UK Ayan Mitra CEO, Code Investing, UK Ben Luckett Managing Director, AVIVA Ventures, UK Raghavan Kayar Business Angel, NED & Mentor, London Business Angels, UK 10:45 11:10 Equity Investments in FinTech A US family office perspective Globally FinTech is a phenomenon that is providing opportunity for considerable change. In this session we will get an update from a FinTech Investor based on the West Coast and gain an insight into the identification and investment into FinTech in different territories. Alexander Prokhorovr Partner, Finsight, UK 11:10 11:30 Morning coffee and networking opportunity 11:30 12:20 FinTech companies pitch their investment opportunities These sessions are dedicated to FinTech companies presenting innovative technology and investment opportunities in different sectors to an audience of investors. Each company will present for 10 minutes, in ONE of TWO presentation rooms.

5 12:20 13:20 How do you value a FinTech company? Valuing a FinTech company in a time of such rapid technological change and with high levels of investor interest is extremely difficult. Investors will want to see a business model that shows the value of the business and the potential for it to both scale and grow. They will also want confidence that the team is sturdy enough to face the challenges ahead. What are the main considerations in this complex process? Great Expectations Seeing past the hype Team, talent and culture Intellectual property and regulation proofing Valuation drivers Moderator: Tim de Vere Green CEO, Origin Capital, UK Luke Hakes Investment Director, Octopus Ventures, UK Rob Moffat Partner, Balderton Capital, UK Jeppe Zink General Partner, Northzone, Norway Antoine Baschiera Co-founder, Early Metric, France 13:20 14:00 Lunch and networking opportunity 14:00 15:10 FinTech companies pitch their investment opportunities These sessions are dedicated to FinTech companies presenting innovative technology and investment opportunities in different sectors to an audience of investors. Each company will present for 10 minutes, in ONE of TWO presentation rooms. 15:10 16:10 Strategies for success FinTech companies tend to be adaptable, reactive and without many of the legacy issues that incumbent companies face in the market place. But a successful FinTech company will need to scale quickly. So when should incumbents and entrepreneurs collaborate and when should they compete? How can partnering and investment improve customer experience and what are some paths to success? Collaborations is it all about leverage? Supplier or challenger? Risks and uncertainties Drivers for innovation and how to market them Moderator: Oliver Smith Senior Tech Reporter, The Memo, UK John Egan Director, Anthemis Group, UK Alasdair McPherson Investor, Craigie Capital, UK Mark Beeston Founder & Managing Partner, Illuminate Financial, UK Tom Graham Senior Manager, FinTech Programme Lead, Accenture, UK 16:10 16:30 Afternoon coffee and networking opportunity 16:30 17:50 One-To-One Meetings: Special pre-scheduled individual One-To-One meetings will be taking place in our dedicated meeting area.
