Accion Venture Lab, the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, and the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank FMO, today announce the Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit that will take place in London on Thursday, September 12.

The summit will see over 40 fintech companies from 5 continents come together with investors, regulators, and other stakeholders in the global inclusive fintech community to discuss how innovations in embedded finance, AI, and other emerging technologies can be leveraged to meet the financial needs of vulnerable communities, including women and smallholder farmers. Globally, nearly 2 billion people are excluded from the financial system, lacking a safe place to save money, credit to manage and grow businesses, and insurance to protect against disasters. Micro, small and medium businesses are facing a $5 trillion credit gap.

Accion Venture Lab’s Managing Partner Rahil Rangwala said, “By bringing this group of fintech innovators together in London – one of the world’s most dynamic financial capitals – we can explore new ways of providing high-quality financial solutions to underserved clients globally. Participants will learn the latest industry insights and forge new partnerships, as they adapt to the rapidly evolving business landscape.”

Companies present at the summit are already leveraging new uses of technology and data to provide responsible financial services to low-income groups in innovative new ways. From using transport data to provide financing to operator-owned truck drivers in Pakistan, to deploying AI so small-scale pharmacies in Kenya can improve access to quality medicines and reduce waste, they are solving pain points for small businesses and low-income groups across emerging economies.

Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth’s Executive Vice President for Global Programs, Payal Dalal, comments that: “With their ability to connect underserved people to the digital economy, often for the first time, fintech innovators have a key role to play in tackling global challenges and making economic growth more inclusive. The Fintech for Inclusion Summit will bring together leaders and frontline practitioners to share their learnings and build new connections, which is a vital part of driving scale.”

Speaking on the topic, Marieke Roestenberg, Manager of FMO Ventures Program, said: “We are pleased to once more co-host this important event with Accion Venture Lab – now in partnership with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth – to bring together industry leaders focused on developing innovative fintech solutions for underserved communities. Holding the event in London this year will enable more key stakeholders to join the conversation and explore collaboration opportunities.”

Accion Venture Lab organizes the Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit as part of its work with entrepreneurs to build scalable businesses that address gaps in financial services around the world. It is a leading early stage fintech investor with a 10+ year track record of delivering financial and social returns. With its global team, it provides hands on strategic and operational support that is critical to the success of early-stage companies, while quickly spotting and responding to global trends, and sharing learnings across geographies.

Not sitting back in the AI race, Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) recently announced it will expand its research and development (R&D) capabilities in the country of Morocco, by growing its local workforce to 1,000 information technology (IT) professionals. The tech giant quickly followed up the announcement, by being named as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant^TM for Warehouse Management Systems, for the ninth year in a row. 

“Fast-changing market conditions and increasing customer demand puts added pressure on organizations’ warehouse, inventory, and fulfillment processes,” said Srini Rajagopal, vice president of logistics product strategy, Oracle. “We believe our position as a Leader in this report is an acknowledgement of our robust product capabilities, investment in innovation, and most importantly the success of our customers.”

Looking to drive further growth and competitive advantage in its sector, and to ensure the sustainability of its products for the future, Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods) recently selected SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) to provide multiple solutions. Among these, CP Foods will be employing SAP’s RISE with SAP, SAP Sustainability Footprint Management, and SAP Sustainability Control Tower Solutions.

Having been accused of lagging in the AI race, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been making several strides as of late, including taking music-making to the next level with its all-new Logic Pro for iPad and Logic Pro for Mac 11 offering, delivering breakthrough professional experiences for songwriting, beat-making, producing, and mixing.

The new Logic Pro comes powered by AI, introducing incredible studio assistant features that augment the music-making process and provide artists help right when they need it.

“Logic Pro gives creatives everything they need to write, produce, and mix a great song, and our latest features take that creativity to a whole new level,” said Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple’s senior director of Apps Worldwide Product Marketing. “Logic Pro’s new AI-backed updates, combined with the unparalleled performance of iPad, Mac, and M-series Apple silicon, provide creative pros with the best music creation experience in the industry.”

Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) recently showed off its astonishing vision for how AI will work with its popular Gmail and Photos platforms. During a keynote speech at its annual Google I/O developer conference, Google CEO Sundar Pichai kicked off the event highlighting various new features powered by its latest AI model Gemini 1.5 Pro. One of the new features, called Ask Photos, allows users to search photos for deeper insights, such as asking when your daughter learned to swim or recall what your license plate number is, just by looking through saved photos.

As well, Google unveiled perhaps the most intriguing offering, dubbed Project Astra. It’s what the company is calling an “advanced seeing and talking responsive agent”, and what some are calling an amped-up version of Google Lens. Google is making all kinds of moves in AI that has the market buzzing, even redesigning its own market-leading search engine, using AI all the way down the line.

“What we see with generative AI is that Google can do more of the searching for you,” says Liz Reid, Google’s newly installed head of Search. “It can take a bunch of the hard work out of searching, so you can focus on the parts you want to do to get things done, or on the parts of exploring that you find exciting.”
