February 9: DII Seminar on FinTech Innovation from Emerging Markets: The Case of bKash from Bangladesh, Tunaiku in Indonesia, and NPCI in India
GRIPS Innovation, Science, Technology and Policy Program (GIST), SciREX Center
The Disruptive, Inclusive Innovation (DII) seminars held in the years of 2019, 2020, and 2021 are summarized in the book, "Business Propelling Prosperity" published in November 2021, which was introduced at the DII Seminar on December 1, 2021. The DII seminars have focused on such organizations that provide (inclusion) not-already-existing (disruptive) products and services (value) to those who need them (left behind), and introduced the cases. These efforts were to prove that social renovation (transformation) can be driven by learning from good examples that try to realize ideal society.
Maintaining the above objective, the DII seminars from 2022 will focus on financial inclusion that uses digital technologies.
The first of the DII seminar series in 2022 will begin with "FinTech Innovation from Emerging Markets." The DII information and the past DII seminars can be obtained from here.

| Outline | The rise of emerging markets in Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and Africa suggest that the future growth will increasingly rely on these economies. When it comes to emerging markets, however, institutional infrastructures that firms in developed economies take for granted are either missing or underdeveloped. A combination of unique needs coupled with high customer price sensitivity translates into a need for coming up with new business models to address these challenges. The main objective of this session is to illustrate how success in emerging Asia requires business models that combine product innovations with innovation in the business delivery system. The discussion also illustrates how a country may leapfrog more developed economies in a context of conducive co-evolution between companies and regulators, and also how innovating in such settings continuously creates new risks and new challenges at the firm level. |
