RECAP - The Future of Fintech 2025
The Future of FinTech (OTFA x Netsoc) was a tremendous success, bringing together students, professionals, and industry leaders for an engaging discussion on how financial technology and digital transformation are reshaping industries across Canada. From banking and payments to AI, blockchain, and data-driven innovation, our panelists shared valuable insights into the technologies redefining financial services and what the future of finance means for the next generation of business, technology, and engineering professionals.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Ontario Tech Finance Association (OTFA), including Aviv Dad and incoming president Colton McWilliams, for their partnership and support throughout this collaboration.
We were honoured to welcome our distinguished speakers Sharmika Piratheepan, Dwayne King, Gray Kent, Nev Kent, and Malcolm Jussawalla, who brought diverse perspectives and expertise to the discussion. Following the panel, attendees had the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and participate in an interactive FinTech game that challenged their creativity and strategic thinking.
The event took place on Monday, October 20, 2025, at the Business & IT Building (BIT) Mezzanine, where students from all faculties gathered to learn, connect, and explore the exciting future of FinTech.
Thank you once again to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success. It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm and collaboration across disciplines, and I look forward to seeing how Ontario Tech students continue to drive innovation in finance and technology.
