Blockchain gives banks, financial institutions and regulators a route to serious cost savings, operating efficiency and resilience in payments and payment execution — and adoption decisions made at this stage shape technology strategy for years. This masterclass builds from first principles to an organisationally relevant command of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology: how blockchains and digital currencies work, market dynamics and currency segmentation, Initial Coin Offerings end to end, and the regulatory, compliance and money laundering dimensions. The cohort works hands-on with blockchain and digital currency technology, including a live digital currency trading exercise.

Frequently asked
Do I need a technical background to attend a technology or AI programme?
No. These programmes are built for the executives who decide, not the engineers who build — no code, no demo-as-strategy. Participants leave able to rank AI use-cases by economics, put governance around model risk, and interrogate a technology proposal in one meeting.
How do the programmes treat AI governance and model risk?
As a named person’s job. The curriculum covers model inventories, validation, human override and the ownership a supervisor would recognise — AI placed where it survives an audit, inside real workflows. Participants draft the governance standard their institution lacks and defend it in a capstone review.
What do the technology programmes cost?
Fees are confirmed in the proposal conversation, because delivery format, location and tailoring change the number. Apply for a seat or request the brochure; the reply — from a senior practitioner within one business day — includes dates, formats and the fee for your case.
Are the programmes available online as well as in the classroom?
Yes. Programmes run in the classroom, as live virtual cohorts, or in hybrid format, in English and French. BIZENIUS delivers from its Dubai and Bangalore offices and on client sites across 45+ countries.
