Launched 2013 in Frankfurt am Main, FinTech Forum offers insights and connections into the most promising FinTech & InsurTech startups, and brings them together with investors and financial institutions looking to scale the financial services of the future- in Europe and beyond.
In 2014 we were recognised as one the first movers in FinTech by the 40 Innovators Shaping the Future of Finance – the inaugural WSJ/ FN FinTech 40 power list.
Think of us as the headquarters of B2B(2X) FinTech/ InsurTech startups- and the banks, insurers and investors partnering and backing them to scale. Our weekly newsletter B2B FinTech @Scale highlights the startups, financing rounds, emerging trends and opportunities that should be on the radar of financial institutions and corporates. We also feature regular Q&As with hand-picked startups and investors, along with insights on Scaling B2B FinTech.
The Backstory
FinTech Forum started as an idea for one event over a breakfast meeting in July 2013 between Frank Schwab and Samarth Shekhar at the Frankfurt Airport Club- and became the meeting place for FinTech in Europe.
Our 22 events across Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna, London etc. have brought together 360+ startups and 1800+ investors and corporate innovators. Hundreds more have been featured in our Q&As, newsletters and social media- a network of 20k+ and growing!
We have been supported on our journey by partners like Erste Group, EY, BNP Paribas, InvestHK, AirPlus International, IDA Ireland, A1 Bank, Miles & More, UK Department for International Trade etc.
