ABOUT FINTECH MEETUP EUROPE

Fintech Meetup Europe is the most efficient way for the region’s fintech ecosystem to connect, learn, and do business. Built by the team behind Fintech Meetup USA, this high-impact new launch brings our proven, industry-defining meetings model to Europe for the first time. Powered by our proprietary tech platform, the event facilitates over 25,000 double opt-in meetings, replacing traditional exhibition with structured, ROI-driven networking across fintech, paytech, banking, and financial services. At its core is Europe’s largest hosted meetings programme for fintech, bringing together more senior decision-makers from banks, financial institutions, retailers, merchants, and investors than any other fintech event in the region. Hosted participants attend for free and commit to up to eight 1:1 meetings, making it the most curated and outcome-driven experience in the industry. For marketers, the proposition is powerful: a differentiated product, a clear brand narrative, and a data-led engagement model that delivers measurable value for both attendees and sponsors.
