Stockholm Fintech Week, Sweden’s largest fintech event, is back again this February 11-12, 2025, at Sergel Hub, bringing together global innovators, investors, government officials, and key players from the financial industry. Since its inception in 2018, this flagship event has become a cornerstone of the Swedish fintech ecosystem, uniting thought leaders, startups, and financial institutions to shape the future of finance.
The Birth of a Community-Driven Movement
The story of Stockholm Fintech Week began in 2018 when Anna Blyablina, Lana Brandorne, and Love Dager identified a crucial gap in Stockholm’s thriving fintech scene. Despite the city’s strong fintech community, there was no dedicated platform to unite everyone. Taking matters into their own hands, the trio organized the first conference in February 2019, just four months after their initial discussions. This marked the start of an annual event designed to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community building in the Swedish and Nordic fintech industries.
A Week of Innovation and Learning
Stockholm Fintech Week has evolved significantly since its first edition, featuring five days and nine tracks ranging from market leadership collaboration to sustainability and blockchain. Today, the event includes two main days of conferences and a full week of side events, ensuring attendees get maximum exposure to cutting-edge trends.
The 2025 edition will feature key tracks and topics such as:
- Web3 and Blockchain: Exploring decentralized systems beyond cryptocurrencies.
- RegTech and FinCrime: Solutions for secure and compliant finance.
- Next-Gen Payments: The future of seamless and borderless transactions.
- Sustainability and Impact Tech: Innovations for a greener financial future.
With a history of adapting to the ever-changing fintech landscape, this year’s conference promises discussions on AI, blockchain, hyper-personalization, and open finance—all tailored to suit the industry’s latest needs.
