WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE

scale & grow SUMMIT

IT's like an accelerator on steroids

The Scale & Grow Summit is the beating heart of Fintech Week London. It opens the week, sets the agenda, and brings together the people who are actively shaping where UK fintech goes next.

From 9-10 September, 1,500+ founders, operators, investors, and leaders will come together for the conversations that matter. Practical, honest, and built entirely around helping fintechs on their scaling journey.

The summit will be centrally located close to St Pauls and very soon we’ll be ready to draw the curtain on the hotly awaited venue.

We hope to see Fintech Week London expand across the capital with satellite events, partner programming, and community gatherings hosted by organisations from across the ecosystem.
