Are you a fintech company, a financial organization, or just interested in the industries? You’ve found an event you shouldn’t miss during Slush 2019!

Fintech Finland Association together with Helsinki Business Hub arrange a FINTECH CRASH COURSE on the Slush opening day.

You will learn more about the fintech industry in Finland and in the Nordics as well as hear stories from real fintech entrepreneurs originating from or having expanded into Nordics: why they decided to do it, how they did it, and how you could avoid the typical pitfalls on the journey.
