The Unchain Fintech Festival team has been running a series of pre-events to give audiences a glimpse into the startup pitching competition that will be included in the main event in Oradea.
The event will give the whole of Central Eastern Europe a platform to showcase the best solutions provided by companies, from one of the most talented and fast-growing regions in the world.
So far, the team has organized two Unchain Demo Nights for two districted groups of countries in the CEE, with a third one to follow today, on the 8th of June. You can join and watch it online for free here: Unchain Demo Nights – Romania | Bulgaria | Greece | Ukraine.
By reuniting experts and representatives from regulatory bodies, banks and private fintech companies from all stages of development, the Unchain Fintech Festival will also act as a would-be accelerator for the CEE’s regional fintech innovation curve.
„Unchain and VISA, the event’s main partner, believe that this framework of bringing together representatives from established institutions, successful unicorns, corporate giants and fresh start-ups will prove to be beneficial for boosting the overall business and innovation signal in the region,” according to the press release.
“Together with Visa and all the relevant experts in the financial and tech industry, we will shape the business landscape in payments, loans, insurance, personal finance, e-commerce, banking, and more. We firmly believe that the regional unicorns we have so far have only just tapped into the big potential of the CEE and, through Unchain Fintech Festival, we aim to grow not just the knowledge and networking of fintech representatives, but also help foster and facilitate the actual innovation and fintech growth of the CEE region,” stated Alexandra Pollack, Co-Founder and CEO of Unchain Fintech Festival .
