PowerUp Winter

As ever, companies in the financial services industry are quick to adopt emerging technologies, and with the benefits of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming increasingly clear, it’s no wonder why.

Research analyst Autonomous have estimated that the savings across front, middle, and back offices can be as much as 20%, and that the global impact of AI and ML is over $1 trillion to date.

As such, part of the IAFN event is going to include a PowerUP LONDON Winter 2019 section focusing on the recent, and future changes in auto and equipment finance brought about by ML and AI.

Winners will be selected in three categories:

• Innovators – a chance for finance organisations to showcase how their technology helps manage the customer journey, reduce costs or exploit the data flowing from assets.
• Changemakers – for emerging ML and AI startups who have caught the eye of established auto and equipment finance companies for their innovative platforms and services.
• Techstars – for companies that have innovative AI and ML technologies.

Finally, don’t miss out on our annual awards which celebrate innovation in auto and equipment finance – we have 12 categories up for grabs. For more details on the upcoming conference please go to: https://www.internationalassetfinance.net/
