The purpose of the Swiss FinTech Awards is to promote regional development while helping create the strongest possible Swiss FinTech ecosystem underpinned by unprecedented international network links. This network, made up of selected partner organisations and Fintech experts, will present the Swiss FinTech Awards to Swiss FinTech start-ups and influencers in the “Early Stage Start-up of the Year”, “Growth Stage Start-up of the Year” and “Fintech Influencer of the Year” categories.

The “Fintech Influencer of the Year” category was created for individuals or organisations who have positively shaped or influenced the Swiss Fintech scene.

The Swiss-based “Finanz und Wirtschaft Forum” acts as organiser of the Swiss FinTech Awards and their ecosystem, which consists of knowledge partner Accenture, a jury of 20 designated FinTech experts and the five “sponsor banks” who provide the CHF 38,000 prize money. Remaining partners are drawn from the worlds of networking, communication and academia. More information is available at www.swissfintechawards.ch.
