this South Summit ‘17?
What sector do you believe to be
“hotter” and why?

Visibility and financing Fintech / up and coming
Banks will see new models that coexist
with traditional banks
Pepe Borrell
Managing Director Crowdcube
@borrellpepe
Catching up with portfolio companies,
new startups and investors
Fintech, Proptech, Insurtech and
cleantech
Banks need to rebuild their principles
and fintech companies will steal a big
percentage of business, especially in P2P
services and products
Javier Megias
CEO & Co Founder at Startupxplore
@jmegiasde
Great contacts, access to new and
superb companies and insightful panels
and talks
Probably there’s a dispute between AR/
VR, Fintech/Insurtech and Healthtech
It will take some to mature, but definitely
fintech is here to stay

Nothing, I can’t go this year

Todo lo relacionado con los servicios
de inversión, por el rígido oligopolio que
todavía tienen los bancos tradicionales

Networking and good startups to invest
in :)
Fintech insurtech proptech and regtech
Banks will not lose but gain power
powered by fintech and so will fintechs. I
believe collaboration will emerge as a win
opportunity
Gonzalo Hafner
VP Business Development at
Nextail Labs
@NextailLabs
Strategic partnerships and contacts with
VCs
Fintech, Retail/Fashion Tech, self-driving
cars, cybersecurity
They will lose certain power for sure. It is
hard to predict how much
José María Torrego
CEO and Founder “El Referente”
@JoseTorrego
A lot of investors and VCs of other coun-
tries
Fintech and insurtech, nowadays is the
sectors of the present and the future
I think Bank lose power in the future
Sebastián Fernández Medrano
Head of Deal Flow Samaipata Ventures
@samaipataV
Meeting brilliant founders, growing our
brand awareness as marketplace specia-
lists and following-up with our European
VC network
Blockchain, AR/VR & Guided Content for
its impact in all online business models
bringing new revenue-streams and a 360º
completely different user experience and
platform dynamic
They are losing power already, and the
proof of that are their movements towards
acquiring/investing in top Fintech star-
tups. Neobanks are slightly widening an
oligopoly, and more and more fintechs are
(after saturating a specific node within
financial products such as transfers or
remittances) integrating as puzzle pieces
all the components of the financial life of
Generation Y and X users

7. Philippe Gelis

@Pgelis
I am not attending
Fintech because it is the largest industry
ever disrupted
Banks will lose ground but the largest
ones will not disappear. They will lose re-
levance in terms of customer relationship

Fintech, creo que queda mucho que reco-
rrer en ese sector
Creo que van a comerse a los bancos
que van mucho más lentos

@AlfonsoSB
I expect to understand the new trends in
Fintech and listen to the best experts on
their fields. Also, as a finalist in the South
Summit competition we want to win our
vertical and show how we are changing
banking in Bnext
Fintech and Insurtech will be the hottest
for a couple of years. The huge regulatory
changes and the new customer preferen-
ces are creating problems for the incum-
bents that fast-moving startups will be
able to take advantage of
Banks won’t disappear but will lose the
customer relationship “monopoly” they
have maintained for so many decades
Marina Zaliznyak
Founder Bliss.ventures
@Currofile
Unfortunately, I’m not going this year
Fintech, so much to do still, so many
twists and turns and so many opportuni-
ties to change what’s been in the hands of
wealthy banks and out of the hands of the
consumer
Not a boom. Banks will lose some power,
but will fight for it by acquiring the more
innovative tech

Investors and media attention Energy, specifically solar ;)
Fintech is here to stay. Fintech compa-
nies, with their agility to adapt quickly
and use of technology to lower costs and
provide novel credit analysis systems, will
continue to increase its power against
banks
Ramón Blanco
Co Founder Indexa Capital
@Ramon10
I am not sure I will be able to attend yet
Insurtech. Insurance companies live on fat
profits, outdated business models and a
state of complacency fostered by lack of
competition, that makes the sector up for
disruption
t is not right question, some of the future
fintech companies will become banks.
The right question is whether current
banks will lose market share in deposits
and credits to new competitors. And the
answer is yes
Jordi Greenham
Co Founder, CEO & Master of the
Dark Fource in Homie
@GreenhamJordi
Maybe investors and networking AI and Proptech Banks will lose power

9. Iñigo Juantegui

José Luis García

@jlgarcia82
Not too much, meet a couple of interes-
ting startups
AR, IA, Deep Learning, Blockchain...lot of
investments in these sectors lately
From my point of view, it is a boom in
Spain, not many Fintech companies will
be alive in the next 2 years. Banks are
developing their own solutions without
buying startups
