Research & Development

One of Copenhagen Fintech’s key objectives is to foster collaboration and co-innovation between academia and industry with the aim of finding the best ideas and solutions relevant to finance and fintech.

The Nordic Fintech Research Symposium

Every year Copenhagen Fintech in collaboration with researchers from Danish Universities, organizes a Research Symposium in connection with the Nordic Fintech Week. The Nordic Fintech Symposium is supported by Copenhagen Fintech as part of the “National Position of Strength programme for Finans & Fintech” funded by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science.

The Symposium is intended to bridge gaps between academia and industry, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and insights for the benefit of the Danish fintech community. It joins together both Danish and international researchers plus industry experts and it thus a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and initiating new collaborations.
