FF Awards Host and Headline Sponsor Announced
Preparations for the FF Awards are heating up and we have three HUGE announcements to make
Firstly, we’re delighted to announce, our Headline Sponsor for the FF Awards 2023 is…
What better partner for our awards than an organisation devoted to developing one of the most exciting fintech ecosystems in the US? Here’s two reasons we’re chuffed to have them on board:
1. They’re not a tech vendor. Our awards cannot be bought!
2. Ohio is home to one of the largest financial sectors in the USA. They know a winner when they see one.
Also, following many, many requests (!), we are extending the date for awards entries from the 28th of August to the 28th of September.
All submissions currently entered will have until this date to make further updates to their entry video.
We’re only accepting video entries for the FF Awards.
Five finalists will be selected for each category by the FF News audience, to be judged by a selection of high-profile judges working for financial institutions such as HSBC, Lloyds, BBVA, Virgin Money, Zurich, and JP Morgan.
And the exciting news continues! We’re very pleased to announce our host for the event itself…
After two brilliant ceremonies hosted by Ed Gamble and Alex Brooker and joined on stage by a line up only we could deliver, including Liberty X, Brian Blessed, and John Bercow… our host for the FF Awards 2023 will be none other than award winning comedian Katherine Ryan!
The FF Awards ceremony will take place on the 28th of November at Old Billingsgate, London. Tickets are strictly on an invite-only basis.
If you haven’t already considered entering we must stress that these truly are
Awards. Worth. Winning.

ECB Taps G+D Partnership for Digital Euro Resilience
Advancing the preparation of a digital euro, the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced the conclusion of the framework agreements for each of the five digital euro negotiated procurement procedures (also see the notice view in the Official Journal of the EU). A cooperation between Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) partnering with Nexi and Capgemini has now been selected as the first ranked tenderer in the framework agreement to provide an end-to-end solution to make digital euro payments offline available to users and merchants across Europe.
