Over the past few years, the concept of Regtech has taken on much importance within the financial services ecosystem and beyond. During the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory compliance has become more complicated, meaning Regtech is a highly dynamic and rapidly evolving area. However, we believe that Regtech will also become important in areas other than financial services, as highly regulated verticals seek to ease their compliance burdens.

50 years after the launch of the world’s first video game console, gaming and eSports have evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry. Video games have grown from arcade frivolities limited to one person or a small group, to worldwide competitions played by professionals and watched globally by millions streaming the events on their devices.

Loot boxes originated from loot systems in MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) in the Asian market, and from the monetisation of F2P mobile gaming. As players in Asian countries often did not have the funds to purchase full-cost titles, developers began to introduce loot boxes as a method to guarantee monetisation from a game that would otherwise not generate revenue from significant base sales.

The insurance industry will evolve dramatically because of the impact of insurtech. This is an industry with well-established traditional providers, who will have to acclimatise to quickly shifting familiar landscapes.

Cars are now becoming more than a form of transport, but items of technological convenience that users are familiar with at home or at work. They need to include all the technology to make them intuitive, entertaining, informative and safe. This means that cars have to interact with a wider transport infrastructure around them, other vehicles and road users, as well as value-added services around them. This requires not just co-ordination between technologies, but also legislature, insurance, media and information services.
