Building Europe: The Founders, Funders and Operators Scaling the Continent's FinTech Future

Europe's digital sovereignty ambitions are only as real as the companies being built, funded, and scaled on the continent - and the gap between policy aspiration and startup reality remains stubbornly wide. With €200 billion committed to InvestAI, a new generation of fintech founders refusing to relocate to Silicon Valley, and the infrastructure for a genuine European tech stack finally taking shape, the ingredients are in place. This session puts the people doing the actual work on stage - the founders raising capital, the VCs betting on European infrastructure, and the operators who've scaled past the billion-euro mark on home soil — to ask whether this time, the ambition is matched by the execution.
