As part of the annual strategy refreshment process, the maib executive leadership, supervisory board and selected employees from various digital innovation hubs within maib, together with Mastercard attend the Web Summit.
Web Summit is the largest global digital conference that brings together policymakers, heads of state, as well as founders and CEOs of both established technology companies and start-ups. Past success stories include that of Uber, which managed to secure substantial investment deals when it was still in its start-up phase. This year the event held in Lisbon will feature 2,600 start-ups, and over 900 investors. Amongst the key themes for the summit are artificial intelligence, as many voice their hopes and concerns, as well as sustainability, with over 250 start-ups promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of the event’s “Impact initiative”.
Giorgi Shagidze, maib CEO:
„The industry we have chosen to operate in is at the forefront of technological innovation. Maib as a company and as an industry leader must therefore continuously adapt in order to remain the guiding innovator we know it as today. In the last 2 years, we have made much progress in this field, through achievements such as our payment solutions, digital onboarding, ecosystems, and our mobile banking application. That is why I believe it is important for us to attend such events, so that we learn from our peers and share our knowledge, driving our industry forward.”
