What Makes Innovation Scale? Regulation, Capital and Trust in Emerging Markets
À propos de cette session
Many promising financial companies do not fail because the product is weak. They fail between early proof and meaningful scale. Growth capital becomes harder to secure, institutional partners hesitate to integrate with younger firms, and entering each new market can require rebuilding relationships, compliance processes and distribution from scratch. This roundtable focuses on that scale gap. It asks which forms of capital are missing after the early stages, what would make banks and other large institutions more willing to partner with growth-stage providers, what governance, leadership and skills those providers need to earn that trust, and which shared infrastructure or market-access mechanisms could reduce the cost of expanding across emerging markets.
