por EntrepreNerd

El encuentro, organizado junto al laboratorio LIFT de la universidad californiana, reunirá este 12 y 13 de enero al Fiscal Nacional Económico y al presidente de BancoEstado para debatir sobre regulación basada en evidencia.

La Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI), junto al Laboratorio de Fintech Inclusivo (LIFT) de UC Berkeley y el centro CEGA, realizarán un seminario internacional en la sede Presidente Errázuriz para abordar el impacto de la tecnología en el mercado financiero.

El seminario marca el primer hito del Memorando de Entendimiento (MOU) firmado entre la Universidad de Berkeley, la Escuela de Gobierno y de Negocios UAI, que busca impulsar la colaboración a la investigación aplicada y ser un espacio de discusión en Latinoamérica que reúna a académicos, reguladores y sector privado.

El evento busca generar evidencia científica para apoyar la toma de decisiones públicas y privadas. Entre los expositores confirmados destacan el Fiscal Nacional Económico, Jorge Grunberg; el Presidente de Banco Estado, Daniel Hojman; y el Gerente General de BID Invest, Eric Parrado, además de invitados del Banco Central de Brasil.

Ana María Montoya, académica de la Escuela de Gobierno de la UAI, afirmó que la instancia busca "retroalimentar con evidencia científica y aportar tanto al quehacer de las empresas como al de los reguladores, consolidando a Chile como polo de investigación regional".
