New CCAF digital tools platform launch live event

On behalf of the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, and event co-host Tech Nation (UK), we extend an invitation to you to register for the public launch of CCAF.io – a new platform for our suite of digital tools that provide interactive fintech market data and visualisations to inform evidence-based decision-making.

This event is supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Invesco and Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and is part of Tech Nation’s Fintech Delivery Panel, Finclusion 2021 campaign.

The new integrated digital platform hosts the Cambridge FinTech Ecosystem Atlas, a tool to identify, track and analyse FinTech entities and their activities over time and geographies, and the Cambridge Alternative Finance Benchmarks, which features the latest global market data and insights based on CCAF’s longitudinal research on Digital Lending and Digital Capital Raising.

It also creates a new home for the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI), which explores the scale and implications of the Bitcoin network’s electricity consumption, while providing an interactive map to track the geographic distribution of the network’s total hashrate over time.

This online event will initially feature presentations of each of the three digital tools and will be followed by a discussion panel that will feature global experts on inclusive fintech and a discussion on how public data initiatives support inclusive business models and could drive financial inclusion. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions of the research and development teams for each of the digital tools.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Anton Dek (a.dek@jbs.cam.ac.uk).
