As the need to innovate becomes more pressing, banks have become increasingly collaborative. This new
era of cooperation sees lenders striking up new partnerships with the full range of market participants –
including clients, fintechs and employees – to pursue their digitisation and innovation agendas.

Danielle Myles, investment banking editor of The Banker, speaks with Nordea’s innovation leaders and
partners about the opportunities presented by this new open-style of banking.

The Banker Viewpoint Series is sponsored by Nordea but independently edited.
