CEE22: Cooperation between banks and fintechs. Interview with Šimon Kočí

It's no secret that banks have been trying to compete with fintech startups by integrating their services. In an industry where 65% of all financial institutions are partnering up over the past three years, it makes sense why more than half invest in new technologies too! Before there was even talk about this "buzzword," third-party solutions were already around for decades; debit cards came out back then as well

How he plans on using his expertise when facilitating these discussions among other stakeholders such as financial institutions.
