After a tight competition, we ended up picking 6 fairly different type of finalists, which were: Bankify, cloudasset, Invesdor, Mash, Prasos and Tomorrow Tech.
From these candidates, our jury, consisting of fintech investors and other experts, will pick the winner in the finals, held at Future Digital Finance Forum on October 22nd.
