Nordic Fintech Week

What Nordic Fintech Week does

Nordic Fintech Week is the largest community-driven fintech conference in the Nordics, organized by Copenhagen Fintech, a non-profit innovation hub founded in Denmark in 2016. The flagship event, launched in 2017 as Copenhagen Fintech Week and rebranded to its current name in 2022, brings together startups, banks, investors, regulators, and corporates for an annual gathering that in 2025 attracted 2,500+ attendees from 50+ countries, including 60+ banks, 40+ investors, 35+ academia and government representatives, and 200+ fintechs. The 2026 edition (September 21-25 at TAP1 in Copenhagen) marks the 10th anniversary of the event. Beyond the annual conference, the organization operates Insight365, a year-round subscription platform launched in 2026 to extend engagement beyond the conference week through ongoing events, a content library, the Nordic Fintech Report, and exclusive ecosystem benefits.

The product portfolio includes the annual conference as the core offering, complemented by the Nordic Fintech Awards (7th edition in 2025, 8th edition in 2026), R&D Expo, dedicated Investor and Startup tracks, themed Roundtables, the Fintech Padel World Cup, and the Nordic Fintech Report. The technology stack comprises a digital event platform, the Brella networking app for one-on-one meeting scheduling, and the Eventbuizz ticketing system with payment processing via Quickpay and Clearhaus. Networking outcomes from the 2025 edition demonstrated 34.8% meeting acceptance rates, 47.3% of attendees securing meetings, and 3,300+ messages exchanged during the event.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: tiered annual ticket sales (General €795/DKK 6,000, Investor €435/DKK 3,300, Scaleup €275/DKK 2,100, Startup €195/DKK 1,500), Insight365 annual subscriptions (€1,035/DKK 7,700), startup exhibition packages (DKK 10,000-25,000), and bespoke partnership packages with flagship sponsors including Nordea, Mastercard, Visa, and Danske Bank. Go-to-market is event-driven, anchored by flagship financial institution partnerships and an emerging year-round subscription model. As a non-profit, Copenhagen Fintech reinvests revenue into ecosystem programs rather than distributing profit to equity holders.
