Where Europe's Fintech Investors Meet

Welcome to,

Voilà!

The FINE Impact

Connecting European Fintech Ecosystems

OCT 21 2025 | From 09:00 | Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations 15 quai Anatole France, 75007 Paris

The place where investors, founders, and policymakers actually connect.

Fintech is evolving, growing, scaling, but is it reaching everyone?

After two years of collaboration, research, and community building, the FINE Project comes to a close.

But instead of ending with a report, we’re ending with a conversation, live in Paris, with some of the brightest minds in fintech, investment, and policy.

Why Attend

Because you want more
than pitches and slides.

This is where Europe’s fintech investors, founders, and policymakers meet their peers, swap real insights, and explore cross-border deal opportunities. 

It’s fast, focused, and built for people who want to make a difference, not just attend another event.

The place where investors, founders, and policymakers actually connect.

What You'll Get

You’ll hear fresh insights, join real conversations, and meet people who matter.

As part of Finance Innovation’s Investment Day, this event puts you in the room with 800+ leaders from VC, startups, government, and finance, from Truffle Capital to Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, AMUNDI, and more.

You’ll walk away with ideas, contacts, and the spark for what comes next.
