Ben T. Smith IV, a longtime Silicon Valley executive and currently head of the Communications, Media and Technology practice at Kearney, speaks to Global Finance about the post-SVB venture capital industry and the pace of innovation.
Many of the world's richest countries are also the world's smallest: the pandemic and the global economic slowdown barely made a dent in their huge wealth.

Enter Global Finance’s World’s Best Digital Bank Awards 2016
Global Finance’s World’s Best Digital Bank Awards are the undisputed authority on the world’s leading digital banking service providers. Now in their 17th year, these awards have become the most prestigious honor in the industry, and winners gain a strong advantage and marketing edge over their competition.
The distinction of being among Global Finance’s Best Digital Banks allows honorees to stand out within their own organizations, leading to improved staff recruiting, retention and personal recognition.
More Award Opportunities for Middle-Market And Local Banks
Over the years, Global Finance's World’s Best Digital Bank competition has drawn entries from global and regional giants in addition to middle-market and local banks. Larger banks often win awards because they are able to spread greater investment over more countries than middle market and local banks. This may leave the outstanding accomplishments of some local banks unrecognized.
To address this imbalance, a new level of award will be presented to middle-market and local banks called the Digital Bank of Distinction Award.
Here's how it will work. Banks will be sorted by asset size within regions. Banks from the lower half of the asset ranking will be eligible for the regional Digital Bank of Distinction Award. Digital Bank of Distinction Award winners will be selected on the basis of the quality of their entries. The Digital Bank of Distinction Award will be in addition to the global, regional and country awards made in prior years.
There is no need to enter separately for these new awards. All entering banks will be considered based on their assets and quality of submission for the Digital Bank of Distinction Award.
A Simplified Entry Process
Global Finance has revised and entirely redesigned the Best Digital Bank Awards questionnaire to make it easier to use and quicker to complete.
Applicants will be able to submit entries via a writable word document questionnaire for the corporate/institutional, consumer and Islamic finance categories.
All information required to evaluate category and subcategory awards is contained on these questionnaires. Entrants will now have a clear notion of the aspects of their digital operation that will be evaluated for all awards.
Applicants are also welcome to include supporting materials to strengthen their case.
All documents should be submitted to Chris Giarraputo, chris@GFMag.com.
