Finnovation Day — A Global FinTech Event Series
Finnovation Day is a global event series for the people building, adopting and financing the next generation of financial services.
Organised by TechEmbassy around major international conferences, each edition brings together financial institutions, FinTech companies, technology providers, investors, researchers and selected startups.

Ecosystem
The Financial Ecosystem We Bring Together
Financial institutions, technology companies, startups, investors and researchers are often working on different parts of the same transformation — but discussing them within separate professional circles.
Finnovation Day brings these groups together around the questions reshaping financial services.
Topics across the series include payments, banking technology, AI, cybersecurity, compliance, digital identity, lending, embedded finance, cloud and data infrastructure, digital assets and the next generation of financial products.
The aim is to turn broad conversations about innovation into practical dialogue between the people developing, adopting, financing and studying new financial technologies.
Audience
Audience and Event Formats
Each Finnovation Day edition brings together a curated combination of:
- banks and financial institutions
- payment companies and infrastructure providers
- FinTech and technology companies
- enterprise technology providers
- investors and financial partners
- regulators and policymakers
- researchers and academic institutions
- selected founders and startups
The format is adapted to the subject and objectives of each edition. It may include panel discussions, fireside chats, roundtables, private executive sessions, startup showcases, pitch competitions and curated networking.
Startup programming is included where it supports the central theme of the event rather than as a required element of every edition.
Leadership
Series Leadership and Knowledge Partnership
Finnovation Day’s industry direction is led by Svitlanka Sergiichuk, FinTech Ambassador at TechEmbassy and Co-Founder of Neofin.
Svitlanka helps shape the series thesis, identify relevant topics, engage speakers and develop relationships with financial institutions, FinTech companies and industry experts.
Finnovation Day also works with Future Finance Fest (3F) as a knowledge and ecosystem partner. This collaboration helps connect the series with researchers, academic institutions and international finance experts.
Finnovation Day is created and operated by TechEmbassy. 3F contributes academic expertise, speakers and research relationships to relevant editions of the series.
