Democratizing Finance: Leveling the Playing Field for the Next Generation

October 18 at 3:30 pm PDT / 6:30 pm EDT

At the same time, small businesses that support a large part of the economy, as well as job creation, are struggling to survive. What are the steps needed to devise more equitable markets and provide needed access to capital and services? And how can we adapt the transformational potential of technology to level the playing field and democratize finance for emerging generations?
