What an incredible two days at Finovate Europe 2025 in London. From fintech innovations to game-changing discussions, this year’s event showcased how Europe isn’t just keeping pace, it’s setting the agenda and accelerating the future of finance! It was a great opportunity to connect, share insights, and explore the latest innovations in financial services. Here’s what stood out to us: ↳ It’s no surprise that Generative AI took center stage, with a wave of promising startups pushing the boundaries of innovation. From GenAI’s role in hyper-personalisation to AI-powered financial crime detection, the industry is accelerating towards a future where intelligence and automation redefine customer experiences and security. ↳ As geopolitical risks continue to shake financial markets, Dr. Linda Yueh gave a powerful keynote on what this means for banks, investors, and fintechs. From high interest rates straining financial institutions to the US-China tensions shaping tech regulations, one thing was clear: staying resilient requires adaptability. ↳ The days of transactional banking are over, so how can financial institutions truly modernise? Experts from Lloyds Banking Group, Uzum, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. laid out a bold roadmap for embracing quantum computing, AI-driven automation, and agile cloud migration to transform customer experiences. ↳ What will define the next trillion-dollar fintech opportunities? If Finovate Europe 2025 proved anything, it's that embedded lending, digital wealth management, and AI-powered financial tools are set to transform the industry. Beyond the sessions, it was incredible to connect with CFTE alumni, industry pioneers, and fintech leaders shaping the future of finance. A huge thank you to Finovate for hosting such an insightful event! ❓ What was your biggest takeaway from Finovate Europe 2025?
