Reflecting on an incredible week at #NFW24!
As expected, it was a valuable, intense, and exciting experience. I had the pleasure of reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones, while attending a series of insightful side-events. I also had the opportunity to present Deedster on stage during my keynote and engage in a panel discussion about the future of fintech partnerships—hint: they need to play an even larger role in driving the sector forward. 🌱 💡
Nordic Fintech Week remains one of the most well-organized and impactful events we attend at Deedster. The crowd is a fantastic blend of people with diverse interests, open to new connections and fresh ideas. What stood out was the genuine and meaningful conversations about the direction of the fintech industry and why it matters. Here are some key takeaways from this year:
🌍 Climate Fintech is now an established track within the industry, and it's exciting to see its growth! I was particularly inspired by news around open energy data from Eliq and the formation of partnerships offering SME reporting as a service, like Valified, to banks.
🤝 Partnerships were discussed like never before - with real insights and best practices delivered on stage in a "love song" from Denise Johansson from Enfuce and Thorbjørn Fink from Pleo. Decide what's not your core but still important and work with a few strong partners in those areas. Keep the dialogue honest - every company makes mistakes, it's about how we handle them and improve from them.
🥰 A special praise to the amazing team at Copenhagen Fintech who pull this event together and create such a warm and exciting atmosphere where real connections are being made and topics are advanced in sincere dialogues. How important it is to meet!
✨ It was also a great pleasure to take the stage and talk about how purpose-driven banking can make banks meet their business goals while also bringing a positive impact on society and our environment.
Looking forward to seeing where these conversations lead and keeping the momentum going for a thriving, innovative, and sustainable fintech future.
