The European Fintech Discovery Program is the new initiative promoted within the framework of The Talent Route by ten European accelerators to boost the international connection of startups and fintech scale-ups. Now, companies wishing to implement Fintech solutions in their organizations will have access to a shared European database, thereby increasing the mobility and globalization of startups.
"The European Fintech Discovery Program will launch new projects, such as a White Paper on the Fintech sector at the European level, or a stage program for startups so that they can spend time in another accelerator and learn how it works, as well as how to connect with new corporations," confirmed Francisco Estevan, entrepreneur and CEO of the accelerator and incubator Innsomnia.
In addition to Innsomnia, in this first stage they have joined the Fintech Scotland, Holland Fintech, Copenhagen Fintech, B-Hive (Belgium), The Lhoft (Luxembourg), Le Village (France), Portugal Fintech, TechQuartier (Germany) and Fintech District (Italy). "The launch of the program is an achievement of The Talent Route and the rest of the partners that have launched the project," explains Francisco Estevan, who has reinforced the importance of international collaboration in a sector such as fintech, a sector that It has already reached a level of maturity that forces us to seek increasingly global solutions. The CEO of Innsomnia has explained: "Since we launched The Talent Route two years ago, and despite the multitude of one-to-one initiatives that have come off the Net, this program is really the first global and joint initiative."
In Spain, Innsomnia is the accelerator that represents the national ecosystem and aims to act as the intermediary among international corporates seeking internal talent. And in the reverse process, act as a promoter of the search for talent and international innovation to serve large companies based in Spain.
The role of Innsomnia in this program has the peculiarity of allowing its partners, startups and corporates to make the leap to Latin America.
"All the hubs that send corporate clients to Spain are going to see how their companies have the possibility of connecting with Central and Latin America, where Innsomnia works with the main hubs in Mexico, in Colombia or in Argentina," says Francisco Estevan, who comments that its ultimate goal is to "consolidate a large work map among all operators and, of course, expand the network."
