We want to share how Nordic Fintech Highlights and Nordic Fintech Summit are coming together in a more intentional way.
Since 2020, Nordic Fintech Highlights has helped readers stay on the map by summarising key industry movements through monthly updates, the podcast, and other content.
Since 2021, Nordic Fintech Summit has been the place where the ecosystem meets in Helsinki, the Nordic Eurozone capital, to talk, learn, and connect in person.
In May 2026, these two come together.
Nordic Fintech Summit takes place on 20-22 May 2026 in Helsinki, and will be the main in-person moment of Nordic Fintech Highlights.
From monthly signal to in-person strategy
Nordic Fintech Summit is where the themes and companies followed throughout the year meet face to face.
Conversations that start in Nordic Fintech Highlights continue on stage, in roundtables, and across side events in Helsinki.
