ETA Participates in White House Fintech Summit
6-13-2016
Jason Oxman and Scott Talbott of ETA were in attendance at a recent closed-door White House Fintech Summit. During the event, led by Adrienne Harris, Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, participants including government officials, policy makers, financial services institutions, fintech start-ups, investors and opinion leaders discussed the future of fintech, the role of “big data” in fintech, regulation which fosters rather than inhibits innovation and and ways government can work with innovators to support small businesses.
Among other discussions, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzke chaired a panel analyzing opportunities for government to ensure opportunities for fintech firms to partner and scale innovation, and Gayle Smith of the U.S. Agency for International Development led a conversation on how fintech is powering development globally, particularly in places where traditional financial services are underdeveloped.
