Project description

CCAF in collaboration with Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education delivers the Cambridge Fintech and Regulatory Innovation (CFTRI) global executive online programme. The CFTRI programme is designed to enable global executives, financial regulators, supervisors and policymakers to understand the mechanics and applications of key innovative technologies employed in fintech firms, evaluate fintech business models and respective regulatory and policy implications and responses, utilise analytical tools to assess fintech business models aligned with national objectives and capabilities and assess the viability and suitability of an array of regulatory innovation initiatives and responses.
