The Fintech Community met during the Web Summit

​

FinLab Meets was a side event where key players met each other to discuss the Fintech scene and to:

• Meet the participants of the Portugal FinLab (Batch I).​

• Participate in the official launch of the Portugal Fintech Report 2018.

• See the best of Fintech at the Web Summit.

Portugal FinLab is the fast track communication channel between innovators – startups or incumbent institutions – and the Portuguese regulatory authorities. Where regulation meets innovation is the motto, so during the Web Summit, we decided to foster interesting but unlikely meetings between Fintech speakers with different roles in the ecosystem - from startups, investors, incumbents, academia, consultancy and law firms, tech journalists and regulators.
