In this episode of the Future Money Podcast, we present The Interledger Salon. We focus on the Interledger Foundation’s work on campus involvement and partnerships with universities. Our guests, Dr. Allan Davids of the University of Cape Town, Dr. Andrew Mangle of Bowie State University, and Interledger Foundation’s CEO and President Briana Marbury, discuss the challenges and successes of integrating open payments into university curriculums. The conversation highlights the importance of education in expanding digital financial inclusion.

The episode also explores the program’s evolution at Bowie State University and the University of Cape Town, including the development of a one-week intensive open payments program and the Hackathon, which resulted in innovative use cases by participating students.

We hope you enjoy our discussions on digital financial inclusion and the future of payments. Please like and subscribe to the Future|Money Podcast.
