On 2 November 2020, the founder of Finterra, Hamid Rashid, will be conducting an ‘Islamic Fintech Masterclass’ as part of the Qatar FinTech Hub (QFTH) Incubator and Accelerator Programs. With specific focus on Islamic Finance use cases and opportunities, this masterclass will introduce the innovative FinTechs taking part in QFTH’s Programs to Islamic fintech and the unique opportunities it offers.
The masterclass will give Finterra the opportunity to interact with promising local and international FinTech companies and can act as a springboard to generate local awareness and outreach through QFTH’s marketing channels. This program also offers unique value for Finterra and an opportunity for all parties involved to embark on a deep-dive into the Islamic Fintech market through collective collaborations.
