Which verticals or new segments are they doubling down on and which are they weary of? Join us as we bring together leading experts to share their insights in a format with a twist! Each expert will be asked to pitch the vertical or segment in FinTech which they are doubling down on while the rest have to provide the counter argument to the pitch.
