금융산업의 변화는 “전보다 더 빨리 변화할 것”
처음으로 디지털 금융 서비스 부문에서 공공-민간 파트너십을 세운 페이팔(PayPal) CEO 다니엘 슐만이 이번 주 룩셈부르크에서 디지털 금융 서비스의 PayPal FNR PEARL 의장 취임식을 거행했다.
While visiting Luxembourg to launch the first public-private chair dedicated to digital financial services in partnership with the University of Luxembourg, Mr Schulman estimated that “the financial sector will change more in the next 5 years than it has done in the last 20”.
These changes are “only going to happen faster than before” as they are being pushed by 5G, the explosion of data available and the arrival of quantum computing that will be able to process massive amounts of data in record time. “All of that make this chair so important,” he added.
Trusted autonomous payments methods to be studied
“This chair is about interaction between the right players in technology, research and the financial industry,” explained Minister of Finance Pierre Gramegna.
The PayPal-FNR (Luxembourg National Research Fund) PEARL chair will explore the future of financial services. Professor Gilbert Fridgen, currently teaching at the University of Bayreuth (Germany), will lead it.
The fields of research will include the opportunities brought by blockchain, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things in financial services, trusted autonomous payment methods and sustainable technology organisations in the business sector.
