North of England FinTech Innovation Challenge: Showcase Finale

September 17th, 10:00am
1 Spinningfields Square


We’re delighted to announce the showcase finale of our North of England FinTech Innovation Challenge, hosted in partnership with NatWest, bringing our pan-Northern programme full circle as participating FinTechs present the solutions they’ve developed in response to NatWest’s challenge theme: how emerging technology is shaping the future of customer experience.

Since launching in April, the programme has connected ambitious FinTech innovators with NatWest’s experts, mentors and decision-makers, giving participants the opportunity to explore this theme in depth and develop practical, real-world solutions that could redefine how customers engage with financial services.

On the 17th of September, we’re bringing the programme to a close at NatWest, 1 Spinningfields Square, Manchester, where participating FinTechs will pitch their solutions live to a panel of judges and an audience of financial services leaders, ecosystem partners and innovators from across the North.

The session will culminate in the announcement of a winner, followed by the chance to network over lunch with everyone who has been part of the journey.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand how emerging technology is shaping the future of customer experience in financial services – and celebrate the innovation, hard work and ideas that have defined this year’s Challenge.

We’re excited to announce more information about our speakers and agenda soon.
