Israeli Innovation Can Accelerate China's FinTech RevolutionEsther Loewy
Upround Ventures continues to play a major role in the Israel – Asia innovation nexus. That means we invest heavily in building both our organization and our portfolio companies – and a lot of frequent flyer miles to China and Hong Kong and the region. For our Asian relationships, we identify and select the right Israeli startups to help them become, or maintain, their market leadership through innovation.
Finance, to no surprise, is a major industry in Asia with Hong Kong and Singapore vying to be the international hub for APAC. Within Mainland China, we see the largest institutions, state owned enterprises and new financial players embracing a pure digital banking experience. This report shows why traditional financial institutions need to innovate to stay relevant and why the disrupters are on a constant search for the newest technologies to stay ahead of the game.
Global banks have established or joined fintech hubs in NY, London, Hong Kong , Silicon Valley, Singapore and yes, Tel Aviv. Citi’s first (and only?) innovation center is in Tel Aviv. Barclays (where I mentor) added Tel Aviv after their tech initiatives in London, NY and Capetown. The list of global banks and financial institutions that visit Israel, keen to learn, cooperate and invest runs the gamut of continents.
Israel is home to some of the world’s strongest technologies needed to fuel the growth of China’s financial institutions. We’ll embark on that journey with How Israeli Technologies Can Accelerate China’s FinTech Revolution
A special thank you to Shir Bodner and Ye Qu of Upround Ventures who played an integral role in this collaborative project.
(Almost) everything you need to know to start in FintechSophie Guibaud
This workshop will provide readers with a global overview of the Fintech world, market dynamics and how London has managed to become a leading Fintech hub. They will learn about the various business models that fall under the Fintech umbrella (Payments, Money transfer, Crowdfunding, Lending, Data & Analytics) and also discuss new banking models that are trying to inspire and shape the bank of the future.
Summary of findings
2018 VC-backed fintech deals and funding set an annual record: In 2018, - VC-backed fintech companies raised $39.57B across 1,707 deals globally. Deals were up 15% year-over-year while funding surged 120% on the back of 52 mega-rounds ($100M+) worth $24.88B combined.
Fintech is happening on global scale with deals outside of core markets (US, UK, and China) accounting for 39% of deals: Fintech deal hubs are starting to emerge globally. The count of unique fintech startups raising funding topped an annual high of 1,463 companies, and the unique number of investors reached 2,745 boosted by an influx of corporate investors.
Early-stage deals, as a percentage, fell to a 5-year low as investors concentrated bets in perceived winners: Global seed and Series A fintech deals grew 5% on an annual basis in 2018, but fell as a percentage of total deals to 57%. US early-stage deals were flat YOY as investors concentrated their bets in established fintech unicorns.
There are 39 VC-backed fintech unicorns worth a combined $147.37B: Q4'18 saw five new unicorns births (Plaid, Brex, Monzo, DevotedHealth, and Toss) and two in the first month of Q1’19 (N26 and Confluent). The cohort’s total valuation in 2018 was boosted by a record year for megarounds to existing unicorns, including Gusto and Robinhood, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. Understand FinTech Today
Financial Tech (FinTech) has been steadily gaining interest over the last
five years. In 2015, Financial investment drastically increased. Particularly,
a $4 billion dollar investment in Alibaba’s Ant Financial has pushed its
valuation to $60 billion dollars*.
In 2015, there were 100 companies that VCs actively monitored and
funded. Of those, 19 were labeled unicorns. Unicorns include Venmo,
Square, and Lending Club. However, most of them are in Payments or
Lending. Other areas have been lagging investment and innovation.
3. Four Industry Trends
No. 1: Electrons are becoming our currency. We are moving
into a cashless society.
Today, we do not have to go to banks to deposit checks; we
can just take pictures with an app. The regulation of digital
currency like Bitcoin through companies like Elliptic and
Colu is will drive B2B and B2C adoption.
4. Four Industry Trends
No. 2: Decentralization will allow customers to have more
control and access to their financial resources that only
institutions previously had.
For example, Credit Karma provides customers with
transparency and understanding. Kreditech provides
understandable data that will allow customers to conduct more
self-serviced wealth management.
5. Four Industry Trends
No.3: Mobile, cross-platform connectivity (IoT) fueled by
consumer needs will reach a tipping point.
Mobile devices and lower costs of on-demand computing
resources drive drastic innovation as we see with a company
such as Number26.
6. Four Industry Trends
No. 4: Data has matured to that point that we can now leverage it via
advanced algorithms to better understand consumer behavior and
beyond.
This allows the development of new customizable, but utilitarian
products and services that help consumers live better lives.
Companies like Affirm and Kabbage focus on the consumer; xero
and prospa serve small businesses.
8. To transform the financial industry, financial professionals
and technologists need to switch roles.
Both need to familiarize themselves with the financial
industry through opposite lenses. Do not think that a
top-level understanding of technology or finance alone
will make a company or individual successful.
Financial institutions are very powerful, as are
technology companies. Collaborative programs and
partners will lead to joint innovation.
9. As a financial professional, do not be afraid of computers or programming.
A great example is tastytrade. The founders are financial gurus and
professional traders (master minds behind ThinkorSwim) who possess a
passion for technology and built an online video platform to explain global
trends in the market.
These tools do not teach customers how to understand money and
investment, but they teach you how to explain controlling risks and
maximizing profit technological advancements to your clients.
Walk in the Shoes of a Technologist
11. If you are a technologist, participate in finance-related technology projects. Join
FinTech hackathons to model information and run new scenarios to create new
products from the data you have access too.
At Beyondsoft, we are doing a number of projects for banks, hedge funds and
lending clubs. Most recently, we have conducted real-time fraud detecting for a
major bank. Fraud costs financial institutions and companies billions of dollars
per year.
