Blockchain enabled peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries; Central Bank Digital Currency adds a dimension that changes the future of payments for businesses and individuals alike. This masterclass takes banking, central bank and technology teams from the evolution of credit cards to CBDC through the technological and cryptographic components of a blockchain, the design rationale behind the technology, and the landscape of cryptoassets and virtual asset service providers. Practical sessions apply blockchain and distributed-ledger concepts to participants’ own business contexts, including digital product development and the ways web3 deepens customer engagement and loyalty. The cohort finishes with a working command of digital disruption in financial services.

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.
