Marking its fifth anniversary, Fintech Week London is undergoing a major revamp. In partnership with global event firm Trescon, it will relaunch its flagship conference as the London Fintech Summit – a new international gathering aimed at uniting finance leaders, investors, policymakers and startups to chart the future of fintech. Set for 6–7 October 2025, London Fintech Summit will spotlight cross-border collaboration and investment. The week will also feature a VIP dinner for 100 C-level leaders and government officials, an industry party, and a dedicated day for international delegations in partnership with Grow London.
"London has long been at the centre of financial innovation, and the London Fintech Summit 2025 will cement its role as a critical link between financial capitals," said Raf De Kimpe, CEO of Fintech Week London. "By combining Fintech Week London's existing network with Trescon's extensive international reach, we are creating a summit that brings together the most influential voices shaping the future of finance."
While Fintech Week London will continue to host a series of finance-focused events across the capital, the newly launched summit will serve as the main stage for global fintech dialogue. London Fintech Summit 2025 aims to connect financial powerhouses from markets including New York, Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Brussels, with a sharp focus on investment, regulation, and innovation - reasserting London's role as a global fintech hub. The event will connect top financial minds from across the globe to shape the future of finance.
London may be one of the world's oldest financial centres, but it remains at the cutting edge of fintech innovation. Home to over 1,600 of the UK's 3,300 fintech companies, the capital has become a meeting point for traditional banks, tech giants, and startups alike. From legacy institutions to digital disruptors, the London Fintech Summit and Fintech Week London offer a front-row seat to the global forces shaping the future of finance.
The annual London Fintech Summit is set to raise the bar for global fintech events, uniting policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, tech innovators, and end-users for impactful, solution-focused dialogue. By connecting major financial hubs and prioritising inclusivity, cross-border collaboration, and regulatory alignment, the summit reinforces London's position at the heart of global fintech - and offers a platform for shaping the future of finance.
London Fintech Summit: Key Themes
The summit will spotlight the forces shaping global fintech, including:
Future of Payments – Mobile-first, tech-enabled, frictionless interactions
Data, Risk & Fraud – Tackling cybersecurity and system resilience
Government & Regulation – Global policy shifts and cross-border alignment
Artificial Intelligence – From agentic to generative AI in finance
Digital Assets & Tokenisation – Opportunities and regulatory challenges
Fintech for Good – Driving inclusion, impact, and access
Why London Fintech Summit Stands Out
- High-Impact Networking: Two content stages, curated 1-on-1 meetings, and 700+ leaders from finance, tech, VC, government, and regulation.
- Global Perspective: Country and industry pavilions spotlighting innovations from major fintech markets.
- Investor Access: Roundtables linking startups with VCs, institutions, and family offices.
- Policy Dialogue: Direct engagement with regulators and government on cross-border fintech policy.
- Innovation Showcase: Live demos of the latest financial technologies.
- Broad Impact: Focused not just on business, but on fintech's real-world impact for users and society.
Backed by the UK government's £250 million Financial Services and Markets Bill, and with global fintech projected to grow at over 22% annually through 2030, London is poised to remain a global fintech leader.
