Embedded Finance for Cashless Society

In a world where traditional financial boundaries are increasingly blurred by technology, how can we harness the power of “embedded finance” to not only democratize access to financial services but also drive forward a sustainable, equitable, and technologically advanced cashless society?

Join us for an event to delve into the evolving landscape of embedded finance and its potential to transform economic activities into a seamless experience, this event explores how we can leverage technology to move to a cashless society that embodies sustainability, equity, intelligence, and investment potential. Through this event we will navigate through the intricacies of embedded finance, envisioning a future where financial systems are not just tools for transactions but catalysts for societal progress and inclusion.

In parallel, we will delve into an equally transformative exploration with "Inflight Meals for Sustainable Cities". This segment of the event reimagines the future of in-flight meals, showcasing how sustainable practices can intersect with real estate development and food systems to foster healthier, more sustainable cities. Through innovative solutions for the airline industry, this presentation will highlight the journey toward creating sustainable in-flight meals that not only enhance the passenger experience but also contribute to environmental sustainability and local community well-being.

Through presentations, an exhibition, and discussions led by participants of the Institute of Design's Sustainable Solutions Workshop, attendees will get an insider's look at innovative projects that envision a future where financial wellness and accessibility are given. These projects embody the ideals of a society where embedded finance not only facilitates transactions but also serves as a cornerstone for societal advancement.

Food and beverages will be provided. Join us for an opportunity to explore and engage in the potential of sustainable, equitable, investable, and intelligent infrastructures.

About the Institute of Design (ID):

The Institute of Design (ID) at Illinois Tech was founded in Chicago by Bauhaus émigré László Moholy-Nagy in 1937. It has since pioneered human-centered design, systems design, and a methods-based approach to design. Today, ID is home to the only US design school devoted completely to graduate students—the first US school to offer a PhD in design. Uniting science and rigor with creativity and rapid iteration, ID focuses on the systems that shape modern life (including cities, education, finance, food, healthcare, and technology) and building new worlds from them, together.
