The MENA Innovation Academy, an initiative powered by Bahrain FinTech Bay in collaboration with Reboot01 Coding Institute, announced last week the opening of applications for the ‘Fintech Strategy Program,’ which will be delivered by the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. It is going to be a three-day program, scheduled to run from 18- 20 May 2025, designed to help professionals equip with the knowledge and skills needed to develop and implement effective strategies in the rapidly evolving fintech industry.
This course aligns with the MENA Innovation Academy’s mission of cultivating the next wave of fintech talent by fostering expertise and enhancing career readiness within financial organizations across the MENA region.
The program is tailored for mid-to-senior-level professionals in financial services, banking, insurance, and related fields as well as entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics, and researchers interested in the intersection of finance, strategy, and technology. Taught by Dr. Arthur Dong, Teaching Professor in Strategy at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, the program will provide participants with in-depth insights into competitive strategies, disruptive technologies such as AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, and the opportunities emerging across key financial sectors. Through a practical approach, participants will also enhance their strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to address real-world fintech challenges.
