FTBE part of the princessly mission to the US
Our Directors Jean-François Heering & Toon Vanagt represented our RegTech vertical for the economic mission in the US. From June 6 to June 13 2022, a great mission with delegates from Belgium visited 3 important cities of the US: Atlanta, New York and Boston. Fintech Belgium joined the mission with several of its members.
Atlanta organised by Hub Brussels
#BEmissionUSA In the offices of Alston & Bird in #atlanta, we co-organized, on the 6th of June, our Fintech event around ‘New trends and innovative solutions in digital payments & Regtech’. The goal was to exchange between #brussels and #Atlanta companies and to know more about what is going on in the USA versus Europe.
Michela Ritondo and Guillaume Blauwart presented the fiscal landscape and how to set up in Brussels.
We had an overview of the Fintech Ecosystem in #FintechAtlanta from Daniel Gouldman and in Brussels with Toon Vanagt #payments
