FinTech Forum is the first and largest hub for FinTech in Continental Europe. Co-founded by Frank Schwab and Samarth Shekhar in July 2013, we were named to the Wall Street Journal / Financial News FinTech40 "40 Innovators Shaping the Future of Finance" in 2014. On a mission to build the financial services of the future, our events, online platform, advisors and mentors have coached and brought together 150+ startups with 350+ investors, financial institutions and corporates. Several participating startups like SEPAexpress, BitBond, Wikifolio, TraxPay, Vaamo, Lendstar, BioSSL, Scalable Capital, DigiCash, Decimo, Cashboard, figo, moneymeets, etc. have gone on to win key investors, get selected to leading accelerator programs, or win awards. We seek to identify innovators, disruptors and “hidden champions” in the financial services sector, and bring them together with investors and financial institutions: via our global network of relationships, our online presence (newsletters, expert blogs, Q&As, etc.) and events, as well as our custom research, scouting and advisory services.
