How we make the magic happen

Events, communication, various other projects and FIRe - our digital finance hub

 

To share information and promote fintechs, our activities revolve around three axes:
the organisation of public and private events, communication, various other projects and FIRe, our digital finance hub

1. Organisation of various events

Since March 2020 and according to sanitary measures in place, all our events have gone purely digital or hybrid, with part of the  delegates and speakers in person and the rest of the audience online.

Demo sessions

What is new on the market and in our industry?

These 2h sessions main focus is to bring innovation and new digital financial solutions into the spotlight. They are perfect for all companies on stage to create new connections and opportunities for themselves.

The concept is to mix

  1. pitches, from early startup presenting their innovative concept to well known players introducing their new product,

  2. with reverse-pitches, where our corporate partners will present their needs and call for tenders

  3. and networking rooms animated by each of the presenting companies.
