The fifth-annual Boston Fintech Week was held on September 27-29. Key sessions were held at the iconic Boston Public Library as well as at other locations throughout the city. This year's theme was 'Fintech& - Building Today for an Uncharted Tomorrow', and the event brought together the global fintech community with luminary keynotes, panel discussions, networking receptions, community-led events, and discussions on the latest advancements in financial technology that are impacting our daily lives.
Key highlights included:
The in-person Boston Fintech Week followed Fintech Sandbox's eighth annual Demo Day, which took place virtually on April 22, and gave eight promising startups the opportunity to showcase the technology and products built with the help of Fintech Sandbox and its partners. The event additionally featured a fireside chat with Adrienne Harris, Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, and included two in-person receptions. The organization is eager to soon announce the participating startups and exact dates for the ninth annual Demo Day, scheduled for April 2023.
