FinTech North News and Regional FinTech Developments

FinTech North to host trade delegation to Digital Finance Summit in Brussels (2nd Dec) – Express your interest today!



This December, we’re exploring the opportunity to lead a delegation of Northern FinTech organisations to the Digital Finance Summit (DFS25) 2025 in Belgium, taking place on 2nd of December in Brussels.

Following successful delegations to Money20/20 Europe, we’re continuing our mission to enhance international FinTech trade into and out of the North. Through this next opportunity, we aim to represent Northern FinTech on the European stage, connect innovators with international partners and strengthen trade links between the UK’s Northern regions and Europe.

Why Belgium?

Belgium is rapidly emerging as one of Europe’s most dynamic FinTech hubs. It is home to major banks, regulators, accelerators and the European Commission – all within a thriving, multilingual innovation ecosystem.

It’s positioned as the crossroads of European finance and the ideal launchpad into the BENELUX FinTech ecosystem, and in turn, a springboard into the mass European market.

Why Digital Finance Summit?

Hosted by FinTech Belgium, DFS 2025 is one of Europe’s leading conferences . The event will welcome 500–700 delegates, across four stages, featuring 100+ speakers and more than 20 hours of content (delivered in English).

Covering topics including FinTech for good, AI, open banking, digital assets, regulation and sustainability; DFS 2025 attracts banks, investors, policymakers and FinTech innovators from across the continent.
