Last night I had the pleasure of presenting at the 5th Annual Canadian Fintech & AI Awards.
Started in 2015 by the Digital Finance Institute, this event recognizes and celebrates Canadian innovation in financial technology and artificial intelligence. The Awards bring together Canada’s leaders in finance to celebrate and support Canadian technology from coast to coast.
Canada has yet to produce a fintech unicorn, but is a leader in the identity and fraud prevention fields, with notable startups such as Vancouver, B.C.-based Trulioo, and Verafin, based in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
