Our Networks
Filtering out the noise
Fintech is a rapidly growing sector – both in established global financial services centers and in new up-and-coming Fintech hubs. And Fintech events are plentiful.
We do things differently. We take the time and commitment to establish a trusted network amongst the movers and shakers of each Fintech location – a network of quality and carefully selected, a network which is not open to everyone – but proudly selective.
The concept
Fintech Inner Circle is a by-invitation-only network for senior executives in finance and fintech, fintech start-up founders and Fintech investors.
The purpose of the dinners is to bring together executives in finance with innovators from fintech, insurtech, regtech to have informal discussions around businessmodels, strategy and technology.
The agenda and topics are defined by the participants themselves and the concept is evolving around a core of principles – trust, exclusivity and value.
The participants
- Executives from banking (C, VP, Director level) – consumer and corporate banking, wealth management
- Executives from insurance (C, VP, Director level) – consumer and corporate, reinsurance
- Payment providers (C, VP, Director level) – credit card providers, payment infrastructure providers
- Fintech investors – angel investors with recognised track record, institutional investors, VCs
- Fintech founders – founders and co-founders of leading or up-coming Fintech start-ups
- Board members and advisors for Fintech stat-ups
- Governmental and supranational policy makers – national and international institutions
- Influencers from think tanks and higher education sector
What they say
I left buzzing. What a fabulous set of people, excellent discussion. One of the best business dinners I have attended.
Director, Commerzbank
It was a very enjoyable and informative event yesterday. The presentation was excellent and already gives us plenty of food for thought for next time.
Senior Executive, Deutsche Bank
It was a very good evening. I found the topics very interesting and met some interesting people which, of course, is a great benefit too.
VP, Royal Bank of Canada
What a scoop to get Denmark’s new tech ambassador as secret guest at the dinner. Lots of energy throughout the evening.
Executive VP, Nykredit
I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The talk in the beginning was particularly interesting – and it was great to participate in the discussion with senior executives!
Chief Investment Officer, Fintech VC, London
What a great event: excellent crowd, conversation and location! I had not attended such a dinner discussion before. I very much hope to be able to attend again.
