Atlantic Fintech, in partnership with Venn Innovation, will lead an in-person, pan-Atlantic mission to the inaugural Fintech Meetup Europe conference taking place October 6-8, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal. We are seeking applications from Atlantic Canadian companies for the 8 available spots. The application form can be found here. Applications are open until June 24th, 2026.
What is Fintech Meetup Europe?
The inaugural Fintech Meetup Europe conference will replicate the highly impactful Fintech Meetup USA format, focusing on facilitating meetings and connections by leveraging a proprietary matching algorithm that deliver results. What does that mean for you? It means that you don’t need a network or do cold outreach to perspective clients and partners to be successful at this conference, making it a great opportunity to explore the European market for your business.
In addition to meetings, there are presentations from industry thought leaders as well as content around the latest innovations, trends and technologies disrupting payments, and banking and financial services.
What can I expect from participating?
Participating companies can expect up to 24 double opt-in 15-minute arranged meetings with industry leaders and professionals. In addition, through this delegation, companies can access 3-5 hosted meetings with senior buyers from banks, financial institutions, retailers, and merchants.

- One ticket per company (Current value approx. $2000 CAD/ticket); ability to buy one additional ticket for a team member for $300 CAD (limited number of tickets available)
- 3-5 hosted meetings per company (value $4000 CAD)
- Up to 24 double opt-in meetings per participant
