Looking back at our 2.50pm Panel: How embedded finance is changing the payments landscape 💭 The discussion was centered around the following... ▶️ How are more Open APIs driving innovation?  ▶️ What is the customer/client journey?

A couple of week's ago we took Fintech Fringe on the road, delivering the Founders Forum stage at FinTech Connect for the very first time. Stepping into someone else’s event can be daunting, but from the moment the lights went up, the energy was electric. The day buzzed with real, actionable insights—no fluff, no BS, just the stuff founders need to hear to scale and grow. We tackled everything from IPO myths to resilience, funding strategies to standout storytelling, and even squeezed in a little sparkle with our Blind Date pitch-off. A huge thank you to our phenomenal speakers, panellists, and everyone who showed up, shared, and made it all sing. Raf De Kimpe you bring a special magic to the stage and was great to deliver such a successful first event together! And a special thanks to the lovely folk at FinTech Connect for giving us this opportunity to shine and connect with so many new faces. It’s humbling to see our content being recognised and invited onto new stages—it reinforces our values of collaborating, not competing. This is just the start. If last week proved anything, it’s that there’s real appetite for pragmatic, high-impact content that helps fintechs move forward. Here’s to many more collaborations like this one! For those who missed it, I’ve captured the highlights in this article below - check it out! 👇 READ MORE: https://bit.ly/3VJZDfO For those who were there: what was your highlight? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
