Closing and networking
Embedded finance services enable consumers, businesses, and companies to accept, make payments, lend or provide insurance without conventional financial institutions. Do you wonder, who benefits the most from embedding financial products and services in these new channels? Why is there no WeChat equivalent in Europe yet? Are super-apps the future in Europe too? Will Elon succeed in turning Twitter an “X” super-app? These are some questions that we will try to answer in an upcoming meetup where, together with subject-matter experts, we will focus on embedded finance. Join us to stay ahead of the curve.
