Q. On 28 & 29 September 2022, Mastercard hosted the second edition of'Collaborate to Innovate’, a virtual event that enjoyed huge success last year. What was new this time and tell us more about why you chose ‘Future Ready’ as the theme?
Every day, things are changing around us. About the only thing we can be certain is continued uncertainty. ‘Future Ready’ is about embracing a constant state of flux, in which we have to evolve at speed, but with the benefit of technology, the power of collaboration, and the potential of innovation at our disposal.
This year we opted once again for a virtual format to enable participation from across our recently expanded EEMEA region, which now covers 81 of the markets where Master-card operates.
