How to create even more high-growth, successful fintech companies with global ambitions? What are the keys to unlocking the massive potential in fintech? Some of the decisive factors are high-performing boards and sound corporate governance principles.That is why Copenhagen Fintech and CBS Board Education have co-created a board education for fintech startup board members, company owners and members of the executive management team.This board education is based on knowledge and experience from fintech board rooms and provides models and tools regarding the board’s role, best practices, dilemmas, and challenges – all aimed at promoting value creation and sustainable growth of fintech startups.Participants will take part in case-based learning processes in a peer-to-peer teaching format where faculty composed of professors, experienced chairs, and board members as well as advisors will inspire and challenge participants on their experience, knowledge, and considerations.Led by world-class faculty team of 8-10 experienced professors, board chairmen and advisors, participants will work with 7 cases during two days (November 29&30, 2021), focusing on the most important issues and challenging dilemmas faced by board of directors of fintech startups. Each case discussion is initiated by a short introduction of the topic, followed by breakout group discussions whereby groups act as boards of directors. The boards’ decisions are summarized and challenged by the faculty team during the concluding classroom discussion.For more information on the program, topics covered, and professors, advisors and board members, read the full brochure here:Fintech Board Education
