The Future of Finance panel at this year’s EU-Startups Summit: Meet Qonto, Raisin and ID Finance!

At our EU-Startups Summit on May 2-3 in Barcelona we’ll welcome up to 1,200 startup founders and investors from across Europe. Alongside fireside chats with successful entrepreneurs, networking, a big pitch competition and other highlights, we’ll also have a panel discussion about the ‘Future of Finance’.

The world of finance, banking and lending changes drastically, with new technologies and fast growing fintech startups taking over. On the panel discussion about the future of finance, we gather 3 of the fastest-growing fintech startups from Europe to find out how they innovate and to talk about their take on the future of finance, banking and lending. We’ll be joined on stage by:

Headquartered in Barcelona, the company uses machine learning and advanced data science techniques to improve access to competitive financial services. ID Finance saw 236% revenue growth in 2018, with 1.4 million registered clients, and has been ranked the second fastest growing fintech in Europe by the Financial Times.
