We’re excited to announce the launch of Fintech Meetup Europe, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 6–8 October 2026.
This marks a major milestone in Hyve’s growth strategy which, alongside acquiring market-leading events, includes scaling proven event brands and formats into new markets.
We acquired Fintech Meetup in 2022, recognising its potential to redefine how the global fintech community connects and does business. Since then, we’ve invested in growing the brand, strengthening its value proposition, and expanding its reach. The result is a powerful, outcomes-driven platform that delivers measurable value for participants and industries alike.
Following three successful editions in Las Vegas, Fintech Meetup Europe will bring together 2,500+ attendees and 650+ hosted buyers, with over 25,000 double opt-in meetings planned. The event will unite leaders from fintechs, banks, merchants, investors, and policymakers from across Europe and beyond.
Fintech Meetup has proven to be a game-changing format in the U.S. and expanding it into Europe is a natural next step. This launch demonstrates our ability to take high-performing event brands into new regions and launch at full scale from day one. Fintech continues to be one of the most dynamic industries globally, and by expanding our fintech events, we position Hyve right at the heart of that momentum.We chose Lisbon for its thriving fintech ecosystem, accessible location, and forward-thinking business environment. The city’s growing community of startups, investors, and established financial institutions makes it the ideal home for Europe’s edition of Fintech Meetup.
Europe’s fintech community is ready for a platform that delivers real outcomes, not just conversations. Today’s launch is in direct response to customer demand, and we’re thrilled to be bringing our event to the centre of Lisbon’s thriving fintech scene.Fintech Meetup Europe represents the next phase in our strategy to build, grow and globalise high-performing brands, focusing on industries defined by innovation, digital transformation, and customer convergence.
