In the CNN interview, representatives describe the advantages of their inclusion in a program which allows startups worldwide to provide groundbreaking solutions – including point-of-sale automation platforms, financial management based on artificial intelligence, compliance, and big data analysis – to firms across the FinTech and RegTech sectors.

 

Speaking to renowned journalist Dimitris Mallas, the directors of the 5 companies clarified the aims of this innovative program, and explained how the collaboration is benefiting both business and customers.

 

"Through the Visa Innovation Program, we were able to create an effective collaboration with the project’s advisors, benefiting from their expertise across many sectors,” says iSPIRAL managing Director, Christos Ttiniozou, in the interview. “Being part of the Visa Innovation program has generated strong partnerships with our mentors, the other teams, and Visa."
