With lots of dedicated networking time and a smart matchmaking app, it’s never been easier to start a conversation with the right person.

Curated 1:1 meetings

The cornerstone of Finovate's networking services are the curated 1:1 meetings. These are bespoke, pre-arranged meetings especially designed to reduce the time you spend on selecting new partners, to forge new relationships for future projects and enable a better understanding of connected technology.

Power hours

Our innovative format allows you to meet with multiple senior executives in order to discuss current projects and future challenges in a relaxed and informal way. You will be joined by specially selected fintech leaders, speakers, analysts and solution providers.

The power hours will be run under the Chatham House Rule (participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of anyone present may be revealed) to encourage free discussion of key industry challenges in an open and collaborative environment.
