Fintech innovation is no longer local. The next wave of financial technology will be built across borders — connecting emerging markets, new capital flows, and bold founders redefining how financial systems operate.
Fintech Beyond Borders, organized by SEE UP Accelerator in partnership with VISA Africa FinTech Accelerator, brings together leading voices from banks, fintech startups, investors, and global innovation platforms to explore the evolving relationship between traditional financial institutions and the new generation of fintech challengers.
This event will bring several high-growth African fintech founders to Belgrade — creating a unique platform for dialogue, collaboration, and cross-market partnerships between Europe and Africa.
