Cambridge Helps Spread AltFi Message – Plus Loan Latest

JudgeBiz

The alternative finance sector has a long-standing duty to raise awareness and understanding of what it does. It’s more than simple marketing – it’s a mission to enlighten, to get across the simple message that banks are not the only answer to financial problems.

So it’s with some pleasure that we report the launch of a new week-end course at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF). This executive education program is entitled Alternative Finance in Digitised Economy, and takes place in May. It is offered in conjunction with Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education.

Our friends at Crowdfundinsider report it this way: CCAF is the leading research entity for all things in the alternative finance space. The Centre has published multiple reports covering geographic regions around the world along with sector publications on emerging technology such as Blockchain (DLT).

This program is described as will be suited to professionals and executives from financial services firms and corporates, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs as well as leaders within government and regulators, and international organisations.

Topics include key issues such as business models, trends, technologies, regulatory implications, risks and opportunities presented by Fintech and alternative finance in the digitised economy.
