With over 500 FinTech brands, the Netherlands is a global powerhouse in financial innovation. How do FinTech startups and scale-ups thrive in a market with rapidly changing consumer demands, as well as high competition levels and strict regulations? And how do traditional banks go about this? Join us to discuss the exciting future of FinTech with the best FinTech entrepreneurs and professionals our country has to offer.
Moderated by Stephanie Bartscht, founder of EVERiSE, we’ll dive straight into new technological developments and discuss how we can ensure that the country stays at the top of the FinTech foodchain. No small feat considering the revolution that is going on.
