🔥 +70 companies are already in our BCN FinTech directory. Why is that important? We haven't found any accurate count of fintech companies in Catalonia yet but it's vital to have one. This will help: - elevate Barcelona's brand as a fintech ecosystem - understand its magnitude - put our fintech space on the map of researchers, media and decision-makers All of which will help all fintech companies in Barcelona. The current list is a great start and has been carefully curated by Elliott Locke, ACSI with support from Clemens Rychlik and the BCN FinTech community. It's a decent number, but we are convinced there is more! Based on our calculations, there should be at least 200+ fintechs operating in Catalonia and 100+ of those being actually HQ here. So there is definitely still a way to go. 👉 Do you want to help us expand and complete the fintech directory? Then please submit your own company - or invite fintechs you know to do it - here: https://lnkd.in/dezhvvgK Thanks for your help! Better together! #barcelona #fintech #bcnfintech #catalonia #ecosystem #startups #finance #directory

The FinTech sector in Africa remains a highly profitable market for founders and investors. African FinTech companies, including Flutterwave, Paystack, Interswitch Group, Cellulant, and Paga Group Ltd have experienced substantial growth in recent years. They have successfully harnessed digital platforms and innovative solutions to transform payment systems, expand financial inclusion, and attract significant investments, solidifying their positions as key players in the African FinTech industry. As the U.S. economy undergoes tightening, I strongly urge investors and business leaders to explore the promising opportunities available in Africa. With the rapid increase in digital and mobile access, along with the narrowing infrastructure gap, Africa is now poised for widespread industrialization. Due to ongoing business environment reforms throughout the continent, the landscape of investment opportunities across Africa's diverse countries has significantly evolved from previous decades.
