London Meets Berlin: Fintech Networking Evening 🇬🇧🇩🇪
Connect with Berlin's most promising fintech companies over drinks at Level39 — an evening for UK investors, banking leaders, and founders to explore partnership and investment opportunities in Germany's growing fintech ecosystem.
About
Germany is Europe's largest economy — and its fintech sector is hitting a new phase.
Berlin alone hosts 189 fintechs, with strong momentum in B2B payments, embedded finance, and financial wellbeing. Regulatory clarity from BaFin, access to 83 million consumers, and deep enterprise demand from Germany's Mittelstand make it a compelling market for partnership and investment.
What's different now: German fintechs are building for scale, not just local fit. Many are ready for UK partnerships, cross-border expansion, and international capital.
This evening, House of Finance & Tech (HoFT) Berlin — Europe's financial wellbeing hub backed by the Federal Ministry — brings ten selected companies to London. Each has been vetted for UK readiness and is here to meet investors, banking partners, and potential customers.
Who should join:
UK investors looking beyond the usual deal flow — meet German fintechs at seed through Series A+ before they're on everyone's radar.
Banking and corporate innovation leads — explore pilot opportunities with companies solving real problems in payments, lending infrastructure, and financial health.
UK fintech founders — find your German counterpart for distribution partnerships or compare notes on scaling across Europe.
Berlin fintech delegation (Founders, BD & Growth leads | Seed to Series A+) — companies with clear UK expansion plans seeking investors and pilot partners.
