The Italian Pavilion (Stand 8B60) will host a delegation of high-growth startups and serve as a vibrant platform for meetings with investors, regulators, and global Fintech players. Among the participating companies are BXT , Kalaway , Mopso , Prestatech , Qodeup , and Tot , representing some of the most promising and dynamic ventures in Italy's landscape.
