Antwerp Acceleration Day

The Antwerp Acceleration Day is an exclusive finance matchmaking orchestrated by Fintech Belgium and fueled by the vibrant spirit of the city of Antwerp!

Get ready for a game-changing experience at our innovative Exclusive Reverse Pitching Session on January 30th. Picture this: a select group of established banks and insurance companies - taking centre stage to lay bare their business challenges, needs, and requirements. But here's the twist: they're not talking to just anyone. They're addressing a handpicked assembly of Antwerp startups and scale-ups.

The goal is to foster collaboration and partnerships between corporates and entrepreneurial ventures, driving mutual growth and innovation in the market. This approach empowers startups to better align their offerings and allows more traditional players to discover cutting-edge solutions to their real-world problems more efficiently and dynamically speed up innovation. 

Why should you dive into this dynamic collaboration pool? Here's the lowdown:

1. Access to Cutting-Edge Solutions: Discover fresh ideas and technologies that align with the evolving needs of the banking and insurance companies..

2. Networking Opportunities: Engage with promising entrepreneurs, connect with forward-thinking minds, and explore potential collaborations that can enhance your institution's offerings. Explore fresh ideas. 

3. Contribution to the Local Ecosystem: By actively participating in the growth of the local startup ecosystem, you're not just advancing your own agenda; you're reinforcing Antwerp's status as a pulsating innovation hub. The ripple effect? It benefits the entire region.
