2016 Fintech Finance 35：Lawrence Wintermeyer

创新金融那an association launched two years ago by then–chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, City of London Corp., and Canary Wharf Group, may not be the only reason “the U.K. is now recognized as the leading global fintech hub,” as劳伦斯温默默尔吹嘘。But with more than 250 members, ranging from raw start-ups to large-valuation “unicorns” to leading financial institutions, Innovate Finance is undeniably one of the focal points for a world-class technological ecosystem on par with the City’s stature as a global financial center. The Brexit vote in June caused barely a blip in London’s fintech development and funding momentum — it was “more of an emotional shock than anything else,” according to Wintermeyer, who adds, “New York is really our sister hub.” It’s a friendly rivalry. Partnership Fund for New York City chief executive Maria Gotsch (No. 12) gave a keynote speech on September 7 when Innovate Finance formally launched its East Coast Program, promoting what Wintermeyer calls “a collaborative environment for our members and influencers.” Two weeks before that Innovate Finance joined in an announcement with SWIFT’s Innotribe innovation arm (看法法比亚·沃登雷伊德，排名第24位）。51岁的温特迈耶说，这样做的目的是“将企业家和投资者联系起来，报告形势，在资金流向、热点和非热点以及监管方面取得一定程度的一致性。”，长期担任数字战略顾问，于2015年3月加入Innovate Finance担任首席执行官。同样在全球范围内，在5月举行的联合国ID2020峰会上，伦敦组织宣布了一项倡议，支持联合国可持续发展目标，即为目前缺乏身份证明的约18亿人提供合法身份证明。”“身份确实是获得银行账户或流动性的首要条件，”温特迈耶说我们热切希望，这不仅是帮助解决金融包容性问题的一个步骤，也是帮助解决那些没有合法身份的人身上发生的令人发指的事情的一个步骤。”
