Details
It takes a whole community to effect change. Finnotec is on a mission to rally the community, influence change and enable New Zealand to be a centre for fintech excellence.
Back in 2015, a couple of years after quitting a day job in pursuit of a startup idea, I was struck by the fact that while there were other fintech entrepreneurs too in New Zealand, there was no coordinated approach to creating an ecosystem or to pull everyone in the community together. To flush out the players in the sector, I thought to myself: 'let's put an event together to see who turns up'. After almost a year of planning in my 'spare' time, Finnotec 2016 was launched as New Zealand's first annual fintech event, with a surprisingly large turnout. The event is now run annually. Each year Finnotec brings together some of the leading minds in the financial technology sector, both from New Zealand and overseas to discuss, design and shape the future of fintech in New Zealand. Finnotec draws both incumbents and startups alike with the singular aim to not only showcase our best but to forge a collaborative future.
The event is peppered with both thought leadership sessions as well as product demos and pitches. With ample time for networking, the event attracts entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, senior corporate leaders, professional service firms, policy makers and regulators, with wide coverage by the media.
