Fintech Belgium Attends Nexus2050 Event in Luxembourg

David Jacob, has just concluded an inspiring participation at the Nexus2050 event, organised by The LHoFT - Luxembourg House of Financial Technology. This inaugural event, hosted in the vibrant tech hub of Luxembourg, spotlighted the critical intersection of ecological and digital transitions necessary to achieve net-zero strategies by 2050.

For 3 days, Nexus2050 brought together stakeholders, including industry leaders, policymakers, and innovative start-ups, all committed to leveraging technology to foster sustainability. The event underscored key themes such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, cybersecurity, financial technology, as well as talent attraction and development.

David actively engaged in the finance stage for a discussion on “Fintech: State of the Union in Europe and Beyond”. Notable speakers included Thomas Krogh Jensen from Copenhagen Fintech, Sebastian Schaefer of TechQuartier, Nameer Khan of Mena Fintech Association, Takeshi Kito from Asian Fintech Alliance, Sarah Corley from Alliance of Digital Finance and Fintech Associations, and Alex Panican from The LHoFT.

Panellists discussed expanding and growing fintech companies in various regions, including Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. They shared insights on the potential of different markets, successful business models, and the challenges of understanding local regulations and markets.

Reflecting on his experience, David highlighted valuable discussions on the potential for cross-border collaboration among fintechs and the wider financial services industry. He emphasised the opportunities that arise from incorporating Luxembourg's tradition of mutualisation solutions into Belgium's fintech landscape. These discussions underscored the importance of creating partnerships between countries to foster innovation and sustainability within the global fintech ecosystem.

The event also provided an excellent opportunity for networking and catching up with industry peers. It was very special to meet Alex Panican, Luca Mancuso, Takeshi Kito, Pierre Nemeth, Gregory Monfort, François Dupont, Anaïs Callec, Jules Niefergold, Geoffrey Dezoppy, Alain Kunnen, Patrick Luc, Sky Shek, Pascal Morosini, Morgan Violeau.
