The team at DisruptionBanking are delighted to have supported Europe’s biggest Fintech conversation for the last three years. Each year the cornerstone Fintech event gets a little more exciting with themes from alchemy to sex and rock’n’roll.
This year we decided to share a small video with our readers to help you navigate the three days of Money 20/20. The event regularly attracts over 3,000 delegates. From payment providers to cybersecurity startups, NFT marketplace participants to CBDCs, there is something for everyone at the event.
Who to watch out for amongst delegates and sponsors
Over the years our editorial team have had the great fortune to be able to meet some of the most important stakeholders within the Fintech ecosystem. We wanted to list a who’s who of delegates and sponsors that you might want to find out more about.
First of all, we hope to meet Andrew Davis, Head of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong. Last year Andrew shared an intriguing story about Two Currencies One Nation with Invest Hong Kong | (disruptionbanking.com).
One of the most innovative companies from Israel, Personetics, will also be represented at the event. Dorel Blitz, VP Strategy & Business Development will be available to speak to as well. Dorel’s team are involved in some of the most ambitious digital banking projects in the world. We discussed some of them in our last interview with Dorel: Talking Self-Driving Finance with Personetics from Israel | (disruptionbanking.com).
However, when it comes to sophisticated, QAN Platform might exceed all your expectations. Operating in the highly advanced quantum computing space. The Estonian startup is leading some highly advanced projects focussed on cybersecurity in the quantum computing era. Something that banks cannot avoid, and we wrote about exactly that when we spoke to the team recently: The Quantum Dilemma that Banks Must Face | (disruptionbanking.com). QAN Platform will be represented by Gergo Szoke, Chief Operational Officer.
Another one to watch is ZEN.com, a highly innovative challenger out of Krakow in Poland. Our team also spoke to them in 2021 about their prospects, something that our readers may want to revisit: Supporting both sides of e-commerce transactions, with ZEN.COM | (disruptionbanking.com),
There are other companies like Nordigen will also be there. They have been revolutionizing Open Banking, and we’ll be keen to catch up with them in person too: Open Banking’s #BlackFriday | Nordigen Launches First Free API Platform (disruptionbanking.com).
