Finnovation Day @ FTT Fintech Festival - Fintech × Banks: Building the Next Generation of Financial Services
Hey London, join us this November for an evening of candid conversations between the financial institutions transforming finance and the fintechs helping them do it.
Finnovation Day London brings together banks, fintech companies and technology providers to explore what it really takes to move financial innovation from promising pilots into production.
The evening will focus on one central question:
What does it take for fintech innovation to move from pilot to core bank infrastructure?
Taking place at Barclays Innovation Hub Powered by Eagle Labs alongside FTT Fintech Festival 2026.
Hosted by Svitlanka Sergiichuk, TechEmbassy’s FinTech Ambassador and Finnovation Day Series Leader.
Organized in partnership with Future Finance Fest 3(f), a global community connecting internationally recognised fintech scholars, policy experts and industry executives to bridge academic research with real-world financial innovation.
What to Expect
🎙️ Flagship Discussion
From Pilot to Core: What Does It Take for Fintech Innovation to Become Bank Infrastructure?
A candid conversation with leaders from financial institutions, fintech companies, payments and financial infrastructure providers, and the regulatory community.
The discussion will explore enterprise readiness, procurement, integration, operational resilience, and what banks should build, buy or develop through partnerships.
⚡ The Fintech Deal Room
Would a bank actually buy it?
We will present hypothetical but realistic financial technologies. The audience will vote:
BUY · PILOT · WATCH · PASS
Bank and technology leaders will explain their decisions, challenge each other’s assumptions and discuss what it would take to move each solution forward.
