Bring on students from Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. A team of around 5-6 students will work on one challenge over the course of the project, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students undertaking these projects will apply their learning about the key regulatory frameworks dominating the global financial marketplace, including emerging regulation for financial technology (FinTech), and traditional and non-traditional sources of financing available to early stage organisation (e.g. start-ups), with an emphasis on FinTech related ventures.
Please note: If you are interested in this project contact between Nottingham Business School and your organisation will take place outside of the Riipen platform. Likewise, the student project will take place off-platform. This format has been agreed with Riipen in advance.

Students in groups of approximately 5-6 will work with your company on the challenge below to provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
Using the tools and resources available to you, carry out a market analysis and idea validation of your client’s fintech product/service. Conduct an evaluation of the client’s FinTech value proposition, discuss the advantages and risks of the technology used, and identify a potential new product that will strength their competitive position.
