FintechNation 26

An industry-leading event showcasing expert perspectives, emerging trends and networking opportunities across Ireland's fintech landscape.

FintechNation 26 — Small island, big ambition: Powering Ireland’s fintech future comes to The Round Room at the Mansion House on Tuesday, 22 September 9.00-15.00, bringing together the people shaping the future of fintech, payments and digital finance in Ireland and beyond.

Hosted by the Fintech and Payments Association of Ireland (FPAI), this flagship conference will gather senior leaders from across financial services, payments, technology and regulation to explore the next phase of Ireland’s fintech story through panel discussions, lively debate, tech talks, pitches and networking. Attendees will hear from an exceptional line-up of domestic and international speakers, each bringing deep expertise and fresh insight to the programme.

As the sector moves from disruption to delivery and scale, the conference will focus on the technologies, business models and policy choices now shaping the market. From AI and fraud prevention to digital assets and regulatory change, the programme will examine how firms can innovate responsibly, compete effectively and scale with confidence.

Europe’s strategic direction will be a central theme. With the Digital Euro moving closer to implementation and digital sovereignty rising up the policy agenda, speakers will assess what this means for banks, fintechs and payments providers, and for Ireland’s role in building a trusted, competitive digital financial infrastructure.

A dedicated focus on growth will explore what Ireland’s fintech startups need to scale internationally, from access to capital and talent to regulatory clarity and stronger collaboration across the ecosystem.

Designed for senior decision-makers, founders, investors and policy leaders, FintechNation 26 will provide actionable insights, meaningful connections and a clear view of how a small island can turn strong fintech foundations into global ambition.

Early bird ticket options are available to purchase now for BPFI, FPAI and Associate members and non-members until 3rd August.
