As we complete the first transformative decade of the Nordic fintech industry, the challenges ahead demand a shift in focus. While innovation has been a cornerstone of our success, we now face growing complexity, rising risks, and stagnating progress.
It’s time to turn the page and begin a new chapter: a strategy-driven fintech order built on a unique agile leadership for finance.
On May 14, 2025, the Nordic Fintech Strategy Arena will launch with Day 0, setting the tone for the Summit with exclusive Strategy Circles. These exclusive roundtables are where real strategic conversations will take place, addressing the most pressing issues in fintech, finance, and banking.
Why a New Strategic Order?
The immense challenges we face as an industry—global platform competition, rapid shifts in risk landscapes, and the regulation tsunami about to hit us — create such a unique leadership dilemma that it alone must take centre stage. To keep innovating and growing, the balance in fintech must shift from a blind technology bias back to risk and strategic leadership in a heavily regulated industry. These are not mutually exclusive perspectives and precisely for that reason we must work to gain a better birds eye-view of the entire industry.
Day 0’s Strategy Circles will bring together top decision-makers to explore topics critical to shaping the future, including:
- Instant Finance: Unlocking SEPA and building real-time treasury frameworks.
- Open Finance: Addressing PSD2 challenges and navigating FIDA’s strategic impact.
- Embedded Finance: Exploring integration with enterprise software to create seamless financial experiences.
These conversations are not just theoretical. Facilitated and transcribed by experts, they will generate actionable insights and form the foundation for a 2035 Nordic Fintech Vision—a shared roadmap for transformation, growth, and leadership.
Why Day 0 Matters
Unlike the first decade of Nordic fintech, where innovation was the focus, the next era requires a deeper partnership across the ecosystem. Strategy Circles are designed to:
- Tackle complex challenges with the brightest minds in the industry.
- Foster high-level collaboration to drive innovation and renewal.
- Provide actionable outcomes that participants can implement within their organizations.
These intimate, high-impact discussions are invitation-only, ensuring a focused and meaningful exchange of ideas among top leaders in the field.
