Our mission is to support and evolve the CEE financial and fintech startup ecosystem

Customer demand is driving the quick pace of change.


Partnering with fast-developing, bold startups allows banks to leverage smarter and more flexible solutions that end customers can benefit from. We aim to connect the ecosystem players – fintech startups and banks, in an exchange of insights and research about the newest technological trends and updates.
