Community engagement: Fintech and education as viewed by the professional

GilesLiz ICUBE UTM is designed to help startups build a launching off point and engaging students in innovation. We are happy to see that mission bare fruit. Our Public Relations Associate, Liz Betsis, interviewed Giles Sutherland, CCO of CARTA Worldwide, last week about Fintech, education and innovation through her position with the Undergraduate Commerce Society. Liz met Giles in Mobey Day Toronto hosted by CARTA in which ICUBE had the pleasure of participating. We are happy to enable our employees and team to share information, knowledge and resources with the student body and community. We hope to see more Fintech initiatives from our Finance students.
