Message from Peter Oakes, Founder of Fintech Ireland

Hi All - as we returned to more normalised activities following on from the Covid-19 disruption we continued to: (i) present on the Fintech ecosystem in Ireland, the UK and further a field, (ii) meet with Irish startups getting ready to execute in Ireland and (iii) meet with international firms looking to set up in Ireland for the continuation of their global fintech journey whether Brexit or just good-sense driven. Of course currently we are doing this by video conferencing and webinars.

We are now heading into the start of 2023. There are more events planned not yet advertised, so return to this page regularly. We continue to have great conversations with companies (fintech, regtech, banks, insurers, asset managers & cyber security), professional services firms, chambers of commerce, embassies, regulators, central banks and overseas governments which wish to partner to host events in 2022.

Also very happy to see Fintech Ireland included on IDA Ireland's infographic on the Fintech Ecosystem under stakeholders.
