Finovate Underlines Commitment to Diversity with 50% Female Speaker Lineup

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2021 / FinovateEurope is pleased to announce its initial speaker lineup that underscores Finovate's commitment to diversity and inclusion. Finovate has long prioritized recruiting speakers with diverse perspectives and lived experiences, and for the first time, a full 50% of the speakers on stage in London will be female.

The experience of living as a woman or a person of color is qualitatively different, and that leads to unique viewpoints and knowledge. When it comes to fintech, understanding a diverse set of perspectives is vital for anyone seeking to identify new opportunities or ensure their existing customer base is well-served. Finovate continuously strives to capture diverse viewpoints from all genders and racial backgrounds to elevate them in the eyes of the bankers, innovators, venture capitalists, and influencers who are driving the future of financial technology innovation.

While FinovateEurope will offer dedicated sessions specifically geared towards women in fintech, expert female speakers will be featured in every session, including discussions on the VC landscape, digital transformation/acceleration, payments, customer experience, wealthtech, and many more (see the full agenda here). Coming from companies like ING, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Monzo, DNB, Lloyds, Nomura, Handelsbanken, Capital One, Nasdaq, Huawei, TechUK, Balderton Capital and more, these speakers will bring an extremely high level of expertise to the event in addition to their own unique perspectives.

SMBs Attract Talent with AI Upskilling as Large Firms Cut Jobs and Benefits, Study Finds18.8.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release

General Assembly study finds role-specific AI training is the most effective approach for SMBs NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / Small-to-medium employers (SMBs) see their human talent as a key area of investment for the AI era and are seeing strong impact from role-specific AI training, according to new research from General Assembly, a global leader in practical AI skills training. Layoff and benefit reductions at larger companies have made it easier for SMBs to recruit and retain top talent, say 81% of human resources (HR) leaders at SMBs, while nearly half (47%) of SMBs have already hired from larger firms in the past year. "Growth-stage companies see AI adoption as a catalyst, not a cost-cutting exercise," said Daniele Grassi, CEO of General Assembly. "They're able to move faster to implement AI and scale it quickly, and they're upskilling their workforces accordingly. As talent sees daily headlines around layoffs and benefit reductions, they're increasingly

LiberNovo Previews Support Week 2026, Putting Better Ergonomic Support Within Reach18.8.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release

Support Week starts August 25. We've got your back. HONG KONG, HK / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / One size does not fit all. Yet most ergonomic chairs are still built around a standard frame, leaving taller, broader, and heavier users adapting to the chair instead of the chair adapting to them. LiberNovo is addressing that gap with the Maxis Series, the lead range for LiberNovo Support Week 2026, opening August 25 across the European Union and United Kingdom. Built for Bigger Builds Maxis was engineered at full scale, not adapted from a standard chair platform. A 52 cm seat depth provides greater thigh support, while a wider seat cushion gives users more room to shift naturally. Its reinforced frame supports up to 181 kg. Maxis also features a five-stage recline control system from 105° to 160°, supported by a Segmented Support System using progressive springs. This provides controlled, consistent support throughout the recline range, even under heavier loads. Three configuration
