Supporting the Fintech that Supports Our World
As the world’s leading fintech demo event, Finovate has shown first-hand the power fintech has to drive change, and that includes social and environmental changes. With our demo scholarship program, Finovate spotlights underrepresented founders and startups tackling climate change, diversity, and financial inclusion through sustainable and equitable practices.
What to Expect
Companies selected for the scholarship program will be granted complimentary demo participation and join the marketing campaign for scholarship selection and sustainability participation.
Highlights include a 7-minute demo on the main stage during the general session, a physical stand in the exhibition hall on the day of your demo, discounted passes for your colleagues and contacts, lead reports, a pre-show media and analyst list with contact details, a professionally edited video of your demo and much more.
Help us expand our demo line ups to include more voices, more perspectives, and more cutting-edge thinking within fintech!
