How is embedded finance changing the role of CFOs? How is it transforming how we do business?

Find out when AREA42, FinTech Belgium, FD Magazine, and Aividens present a can't-miss meetup focused on Embedded Finance for CFOs. 

Embedded finance a driving force for change

Embedded finance isn’t just a buzz word – it’s transforming financial services by allowing businesses to offer things like payments, banking, trade finance, insurance (the list goes on) directly within their platforms. This meetup will provide CFOs with insights on how to look ahead and leverage these tools; and, how the role of CFO could be impacted and evolve.

Lode Vermeersch, the Head of AREA42, will kick things off providing the welcome message. He’ll set the stage for a thought-provoking evening. One particular highlight of the event will be a presentation by Jacques Bolzer, AREA42’s Head of Business Development. His talk looks at bringing new embedded financial tools to the market and raises the question of how to time it right. He aims to provide CFOs insight on how embedded finance could unlock new growth opportunities. Bolzer’s insights are sure to be inspiring.
