Calypso Harland, Founder of Fintech Fringe: “UK fintech is one of the most robust, creative, and innovative industries in the world. We have a highly developed eco-system here, but all the various different types of assistance, information, and even people, aren’t all in one place. The goal of Fintech Fringe Forum is to reinforce the UK as a global hub for fintechs, making it much easier for them to find and research anything and everything that would help them scale and grow.
On top of that, the platform is designed to help build connections and communities that will accelerate fintechs towards their goals. It’s a one-stop-shop for all things fintech growth.”
Returning Fintech Fringe Event Series
In addition to the launch of Forum, Fintech Fringe can also confirm its dates for next year as an official fringe event of London Fintech Week. The series will run from 10th - 13th June 2024.
Confirmed partners include: Department for Business and Trade, CFIT, Fintech Alliance, Innovate Finance, Level39, London & Partners, and Rise, created by Barclays as well as a host of other fintech giants.
Fintech Fringe is also launching two new event series; starting with Rise & Shine and Mastermind, "What are the alternative funding options for fintechs” which takes place on 9th November.
The practitioner-led event series will be closely focused on the scale and growth of fintechs, and will concentrate on delivering dedicated content to support leaders across different business functions.
Calypso Harland, Founder of Fintech Fringe: “After such a successful festival at London Tech Week this year, we realised we were onto something. People told us Fintech Fringe was something fresh, something new, and they wanted to see us do more. So we're acting on that starting with a fresh new programme of events in November thanks to our great partnership with Rise, created by Barclays. That, in addition to the launch of our exciting new platform, means we can bring fintechs, experts and the ecosystem together year-round.”
The Fintech Fringe Forum waitlist goes live today, with full access available through desktop and app from 1st November.
