Finnovation Day London - 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.
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.
