The Startup Launchpad
at FinTech Connect 2026
Where early-stage fintech meets the people who can fund, partner with, or buy from them. Live demos. Real conversations. The most concentrated audience of fintech decision-makers in the UK.
See the future of fintech.
Live and on stage.
The Startup Launchpad is a dedicated zone within FinTech Connect where the most promising early-stage companies demo their products in front of a live audience of investors, banks and enterprise decision-makers.
This is where disruptors showcase game-changing products, founders connect with the global fintech ecosystem, and the conversations that matter actually happen.
Whether you're an investor scouting your next opportunity, a financial institution evaluating emerging solutions, or simply curious about what's coming next in finance, the Startup Launchpad is built for you.
