International FinTech Showcase - Leeds Digital Festival 29/09/2022 9:00

In partnership with global law firm Squire Patton Boggs, and as part of the iconic Leeds Digital Festival, we are delighted to present our latest International FinTech Showcase.

Visiting FinTechs hailing from as far afield as Poland will participate in our trademark FinTech Showcase, pitching their propositions and making meaningful connections amongst the Northern FinTech community.
