Rebuilding Wall Street in a Down Market
The recent crisis on Wall Street has created uncertainty. But with uncertainty comes an opportunity for change.
As we witnessed after Michael Bloomberg`s departure from Salomon, a new idea can become a viable company. Bloomberg`s idea for change, the Bloomberg terminal, has become the de facto standard in monitoring financial news and market activity. Decision makers across the globe depend on Bloomberg terminals to provide critical data. Today, Bloomberg`s idea for change is valued at an estimated $25 billion.
Who will be the next Bloomberg?
Over the past decade numerous financial technology software companies have emerged. They are using technology innovation to change the way Wall Street operates.
Join MITEF as we discuss the past, and ponder the future, of financial technology software with our panel of financial technology experts.
