Fringe benefits
Last week, Francis Bignell and Thomas Bleach experienced everything Fintech Fringe had to offer as they learnt about growing and scaling companies, integrating tech and growth marketing.
Topics like growth vs profitability were discussed by an esteemed group of panellists and enjoyed by the attendees with the good coffee and snacks on offer at Level39.
The next day, we visited Thought Machine HQ for a morning focused on tech. After networking with more coffee, panellists recounted their own tech ‘horror stories’ and stressed the importance of trust, reliability, resiliency and secure technology.

London's thriving
Later that week, we also attended Fintech Week London at the Park Plaza Victoria, superbly organised by Raf De Kimpe .
With Richie Santosdiaz and Thomas Bleach bringing enthusiasm and excitement to both stages, attendees had the pleasure of hearing about fintech for good, digital assets, payments and much more across the day.
Howard Dawber perfectly encapsulated the discussions held at Fintech Week London as firms look to the future, when he said: “London is a place of innovation, a place where people adapt, where we try things out. Bringing different technologies together to solve problems gives London a huge competitive advantage and creates a global stage for companies to disrupt and improve the financial services industry. Our strengthened financial services in London lays the foundation for a very successful and thriving fintech industry."
We also really loved the donuts!

It's all about DEI
This June at The Fintech Times, we’re focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). No longer just a trending topic but an essential consideration to not only your business operations but in your offering as well, this topic feels more relevant now than ever before.
The fintech industry is known for its innovative, agile reputation, and yet it still faces a significant diversity problem that threatens to halt its growth and stop that innovation moving.
