FTSI is where innovative ideas take flight for financial institutions, and our virtual ExCITE show is no exception!
Space exploration started in the 1950’s and through time, the exploration of new horizons in space travel rocketed along a similar path to our everyday technology. That is why, this year, our ExCITE show embodies the theme of space, of new horizons, of extraordinary technological innovations.
