Digitalization has altered, even revolutionized our modern world – and still does so every day. That also includes commerce as well as our money and banking system. But what does it look like, the future of money and payments? Which radical changes are facing omnichannel commerce, and how can we meet them?
At Planet Trade 2018, future researchers and experts in the fields of trade and payment will not only present the challenges ahead on the way to the future of commerce, but will also try to find answers to those and many other questions.
