European and global fintech companies, investors and everyone interested in the latest financial technology will turn their attention to Lithuania.

Here the largest financial technology conference Fintech Inn in Northern Europe and the Baltic States will be held for the 4th year in a row. With over 60 speakers presenting the latest and hottest fintech trends, the event is expected to attract over 3000 participants representing more than 500 companies worldwide.

“This year we have invited a very impressive group of speakers from all over the world – from the USA and Canada to Germany, China and Brazil. This is a great opportunity not only to learn from the best, but also to discover new possibilities during two-day business meetings,”

says Kęstutis Šetkus, Head of the Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology.

It is expected that the conference will be attended by such fintech market leaders as insurtech star Matteo Carbone from Italy, nanopay in which Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street’s leading banks, has invested more than 10 million US dollars, Laurence Cook, CEO from Canada, fintech startup Raisin that acquired MHB Bank in Germany, German founder Tamaz Georgadze, Pavel Matveev, founder of Wirex, a three-continent blockchain-based payment platform, and Arunan Tharmarajah, Manager of TransferWise for Europe which is fintech startup founded in Great Britain by Estonians.

The event organisers invite all conference guests to listen not only to the top speakers, but also to attend B2B meetings which can be arranged on the special B2Match mobile app. The app will show all registered participants with whom you can chat via instant messaging and arrange B2B meetings.

Joined for the first time in history, the world’s leading blockchain centres – Blockchain Centre Vilnius, along with the Blockchain Centres in Melbourne, Shanghai, Sydney and Dubai – are organising a BCV Global Round Table before the conference which will be attended by the heads of all the beforementioned centres. The purpose of this first roundtable in Vilnius will be to take this debate forward and agree on priorities for 2020, present the tools and solutions that can unlock the long term social and economic value for the public. The focus will be specifically on distributed finance and alternative funding instruments for startups.

Just like last year, fintech companies and their associations will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the event attendees and present their services, as well as unique products being developed. This year, the conference will focus on open banking, money laundering, cyber security, and the cutting-edge hardware and software solutions in fintech.

The Fintech Inn Conference is organised by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, the Ministry of Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Bank of Lithuania, and the Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA). All these institutions have joined to make Lithuania the leader in fintech in Europe.
