Andre Kravchenko to Speak at 2024 MFC Conference Insight Hour: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Diverse and Inclusive Microfinance

We are thrilled to announce that Andre Kravchenko, Senior Vice President of Business Development at HES FinTech, will be participating in a plenary session at the 26th Annual Conference Embracing Diversity for Inclusive Finance on May 15 in Krakow, Poland. The conference aims to convene over 400 experts, business owners, impact investors and industry leaders from across some 35 countries to discuss crucial topics at the intersection of technology and finance, fostering financial and social inclusion.

The Session’s Agenda 

The session aims to demystify AI and delve into its practical applications within the microfinance industry. The agenda will explore why AI has become pivotal for microfinance institutions, examine use cases, discuss implementation strategies, and emphasize the urgency of adopting AI. This discussion will provide participants with a deeper understanding of how these technologies can enhance operational efficiency, increase competitiveness, and empower their businesses to provide diverse and inclusive financial services without compromising business objectives.

At HES FinTech, part of our mission is to help our partners provide fair, inclusive, and convenient financial services to their clients. We believe that the adoption of AI is critical to competitiveness and resilience of microfinance institutions.. That’s why Andre’s participation in this plenary session is a significant milestone for HES FinTech, as he contributes his insights alongside industry leaders – Sami Lahoud, Co-Founder and CEO of EMPact, Surjit Chana, Board Director, Beneficial State Bank, and Prateek Shrivastava, Co-Founder & COO of EMpact. 

The Conference’s Agenda: Embracing Diversity for Inclusive Finance

This year’s conference theme perfectly captures the current global context where diversity is no longer an option, but a necessity. Climate change, migration, digitalization, geopolitical shifts, and the widening gaps between the most privileged and the most marginalized groups challenge microfinance institutions in ways that cannot be ignored.

We invite all stakeholders and interested parties to join us at the conference to unlock the potential of AI for a thriving, inclusive future.
