Fintech Scotland has confirmed that the annual Fintech Festival will run from 21 September to 12 October, bringing together fintech leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts from the UK and beyond.

The Scotland Fintech Festival has established itself as a leading platform for showcasing the UK’s leadership in the global fintech landscape. The festival has become an annual highlight for the movement, attracting over 2,500 attendees each year.

The festival will commence with DIGIT’s Fintech Summit which will set the tone for the festival, bringing together thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the fintech sphere such as the impact of AI, CBDCs, Quantum and much more.

As the festival draws to a close, the Scottish Financial Technology Awards, presented by DIGIT, will recognise the outstanding achievements and contributions made by individuals and organisations in the Scottish fintech cluster. The event promises to be a fitting conclusion, recognising the exceptional talent and innovation that drives Scotland’s fintech success.

Throughout the festival, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in over 50 events that explore various aspects of fintech.

Hosted by leading fintech organisations and experts from across the UK, these events will address the key themes highlighted in the Fintech Research & Innovation Roadmap published by Fintech Scotland in 2022.

The Roadmap highlighted Open Finance, Financial Regulation, Climate Finance and Payment as key priorities for the UK fintech sector.

The festival aims to drive forward Scotland’s fintech agenda and support its continued growth and innovation.
