The Search, Global Tour: Central Europe

In our visit to Central Europe we learn how European fintechs are threatening the UK’s fintech crown. Discover how big players, such as Sequoia, are now choosing to invest in Europe and hear about the impact of the seismic shift in large-scale digitisation as online shopping, payments, banking and trading increase due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

We join the CEO of one of the world’s largest fintechs as we hear from Simon Paris of Finastra and go on an unmissable exploration of ‘Fintech: From Wall Street to Main Street’.

We also meet Kaloyan Ratchev, founder of Vangavis, who will be taking a closer look at Central European Market Opportunities and learning how European fintechs have raised a staggering €10.4bn in 2021 alone and why both the US and China have their eye on the European fintech prize.
