Chapters explore FinTech as an emerging field of research and practice, covering teaching and learning, industry materialization, policy-making development and regulatory innovation. Uniting theoretical insights with practitioner perspectives, this Research Handbook explores a wide range of novel topics from case studies of legal frameworks, technological innovations such as AI, digital currencies and blockchain, to the future of FinTech, such as its role in climate change mitigation, satellite data and the space economy. The contributors embrace a multidisciplinary lens that challenges conventional boundaries and re-imagines the future of the financial technologies landscape.
This Handbook is a vital resource for students and academics in finance, financial technologies, management, computer science and financial law. Practitioners in FinTech and financial services will also benefit from the practical frameworks that are directly applicable to innovation, strategy, technology and operations in this rapidly evolving field.
Edited by Dimitrios Salampasis, Associate Professor of Emerging Technologies and FinTech, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia and Patrick Schueffel, Adjunct Professor, HEG School of Management Fribourg, HES-SO, Switzerland
