Stockholm Fintech

What Stockholm Fintech does

Stockholm Fintech is a privately held community organization founded in 2018 by Anna Blyablina, Lana Brandorne, and Love Dager in Stockholm, Sweden. It operates as the central gathering point for the Nordic fintech ecosystem, connecting startups, venture investors, financial institutions, and government officials through a year-round programming portfolio. Its flagship offering, Stockholm Fintech Week, is an annual conference held each February that has grown into Sweden's largest fintech event, attracting over 1,000 attendees and featuring tracks spanning Web3, RegTech, FinCrime, InsurTech, Blockchain, and Nordic & Baltic collaboration. The inaugural 2019 edition ran across five days with nine tracks, and the 2025 edition was announced for February 11-12, 2025.

The organization complements the annual conference with Stockholm Fintech Meetups, a monthly community initiative launched in 2020 to provide ongoing networking and informal gatherings hosted by partner organizations. In 2023, the organization rebranded from 'Sthlm Fintech Week' to 'Stockholm Fintech' to reflect its expanded, year-round scope. Core partnerships formalized in 2024 include co-hosting arrangements with the Swedish Fintech Association, Katalysen Ventures, VNTRS, and Tenity.

Stockholm Fintech does not develop proprietary technology products. Its revenue mechanics are anchored in event sponsorships and partnerships rather than disclosed pricing or product sales. The organization markets to a horizontal set of ecosystem participants via a Squarespace-hosted website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and an email newsletter, with the website serving as the primary channel for event sign-ups and community news. No public financials, funding history, or headcount are disclosed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Slush: Helsinki-based tech and startup event organization with marquee annual gathering and year-round community programming. Comparable to Stockholm Fintech in operating model (annual flagship conference + community ecosystem), with a similar Nordic/European founder-driven origin and focus on connecting startups, investors, and corporates.
• TechBBQ: Denmark's largest startup and tech conference with a community-driven Nordic model. Comparable to Stockholm Fintech Week as a flagship Nordic tech/startup event with year-round programming, though TechBBQ has a broader tech scope versus Stockholm Fintech's fintech specialty.
• Fintech Meetup: Global fintech community and event platform running large-scale meetups across multiple cities. Comparable to Stockholm Fintech as a fintech community organizer with a meetup-driven model, though at a significantly larger global scale with formalized corporate sponsorship.
• Sweden Fintech Association (Swedish Fintech Association): National industry association for the Swedish fintech sector, partnering with Stockholm Fintech to co-host monthly meetups. Directly comparable mission-wise (building the Swedish fintech ecosystem) and operationally intertwined, though its primary role is advocacy/representation versus Stockholm Fintech's event-driven community focus.

Broad incumbents

• Money 20/20: Operator of the world's largest fintech events (Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Singapore). Comparable to Stockholm Fintech as a fintech conference and community organizer, but at a much larger global scale and with a portfolio of multiple events rather than a single Nordic-focused regional property.
• Web Summit: Global large-scale tech conference operator (Lisbon, Rio, Qatar, Vancouver). Comparable to Stockholm Fintech as a conference-and-community business model, but at a far larger global scale and covering general tech rather than fintech specifically.

Others

• Tenity: Swiss-headquartered fintech accelerator and ecosystem platform that is both a partner and a thematic peer of Stockholm Fintech. Tenity runs fintech startup programs and events comparable to Stockholm Fintech's meetups, and is an explicit partner in co-hosting Stockholm Fintech's monthly meetups.

Regional players

• Helsinki Fintech (Finland Fintech Association): Industry association coordinating the Finnish fintech ecosystem through events and stakeholder engagement. Comparable to Stockholm Fintech in mission (Finnish fintech ecosystem building) and in partnership with Stockholm Fintech's Swedish Fintech Association partner.
• Oslo Fintech Hub: Norwegian fintech community organization running meetups, events, and ecosystem programming in Oslo. Closest geographic equivalent to Stockholm Fintech's role in Stockholm, operating the same playbook (meetups, partnerships, ecosystem building) in the neighboring Nordic market.
• Copenhagen Fintech: Denmark's primary fintech community and innovation hub, running events and programming for the Copenhagen fintech ecosystem. Directly comparable to Stockholm Fintech as a Nordic fintech community organization, but serving Denmark rather than Sweden with a lab/innovation center dimension Stockholm Fintech does not have.
