• Peer-to-Peer Advice: Engaging with other start-ups allows participants to exchange insights and advice, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

The programme requires a time commitment of just half a day per week over the course of six weeks, making it an accessible and impactful opportunity for fintech companies looking to take their growth to the next level.

“With three cohorts completed in just under two years, we’ve continually enhanced the programme to ensure it meets the needs of today’s fintech start-ups. We’re thrilled to open applications for the fourth cohort and look forward to supporting the next wave of fintech innovators,” said Katja Palovaara.
