IMTFI's First Annual Conference for Funded Researchers (2009)

"This conference brings together the Institute’s inaugural set of award recipients who will present their preliminary findings based on research in 14 developing world countries. As more and more philanthropic, industry and development actors ask whether mobile technology can help provide access to needed financial services like savings and money transfer, these projects look to the experience on the ground of existing, traditional money systems and financial practices, as well as the potential and real impact of new technology in providing access to finance for the world’s poor."

This was the first annual conference for funded researchers held by IMTFI. For more information about past and upcoming IMTFI events, visit: https://www.imtfi.uci.edu/
