On 7th November Prof. Dr. Lars Hornuf will be speaking at the FinForward conference, which is part of the biggest German fintech event: FintechWeek. This year’s conference topic is “Don't Be Afraid Of German Angst”. Lars Hornuf will be talking about “Regulators to the rescue – what fears and interests do regulators have to reconcile?” Topics to be discussed are: What fears specifically drive German regulatory practices? How does this affect the attractiveness of Germany as a market? Is Germany likely to follow the examples of places like London and Lithuania in starting a sandbox for new business models to be tested in? How can we ensure that we fuel European innovation, rather than simply regulating imports from the US and China? Will Libra prompt a harmonisation of international regulations by forcing a joint response from national regulators?
