Prospective Arenas for Startups in 2016


Cyber-Security Services:

Recently, Research and Markets estimated that the global cyber security industry will grow at a compound annual rate of 4.62 percent every year. Companies are scrambling to enhance their system protection which opens a new door for the cyber security firms. Smart, courageous, young entrepreneurs have opportunities to embark on new companies to take advantage of the surge in demand offering new solutions to companies struggling to keep up the pace with the industry.

Financial Tech:

The financial services industry, long protected by complex regulations, high barriers to entry and economies of scale, is ripe for disruption. Financial Technology startups such as peer-to-peer money transfer service ‘Transferwise’, changed the way people move money across borders, and startups including Stripe enable merchants to easily accept new forms of payment. Besides deploying payment solutions for the US and Europe, scope of financial service expansion lies in the unbanked areas of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Middle East and Latin America.
