We are now accepting demo applications for FinovateEurope 2025. Working on new fintech, finserv, or techfin? Read on to learn more about showcasing your innovation to 1000+ senior decision-makers and hear from companies who recently demoed.

We’ve been watching FinovateEurope for a long time. It’s a great show. It’s an opportunity where you can’t hide behind a sales slide deck. You actually have to show the quality of your product.

-Richard Weston, Sales Director @ Tuum

Finovate’s somewhere that we really come to actually show new products and developments in our technology, and we’ve got the right audience here of bankers, buyers, and actual potential tech partners.

-Ambar Vitelli, Innovation Lead @ NayaOne

On February 25, more than 35 startup, established, and public companies will take the stage. And while time on the main stage is at the crux of the demo package, the rest of the demo experience has been carefully curated to give selected companies the best ROI.

Here are key components and what our 2024 demoers think:

• Influential audience – demo in front of hundreds of high-quality attendees, including FI executives, fintech and tech giants, venture capitalists, industry press and analysts, and entrepreneurs.

The reason that we wanted to be on stage at Finovate was because it’s really one of the best opportunities to speak to such a broad variety of senior leaders across banking and insurance.

-Tom Somers, UK&I Director @ SkenerioLab

• 7-minutes demos – get the audience’s undivided attention and show them exactly what you can do. All demos are on the main stage, and there are no other sessions competing for attention.

Seven minutes, it’s a lot. You don’t feel it when you prepare, but on stage, it is a lot of time. You can explain everything. So don’t be afraid. Seven minutes is a lot.

-Roman Zilber, Founder @ Intrepid Fox

• Frequent and strategic networking breaks – capitalize on the energy and momentum generated during your demo to connect with attendees at your stand and one-to-one meetings through the networking app.

Directly after the demo, a lot of people came to our stand, asking questions, wanting to learn more about it. So it’s definitely impactful.

-Annika Möslein, Technical Project Manager @ Quantum Metric

• Plug and play stands – generate leads and meet attendees at your dedicated stand (table, monitor, power, and signage included).
• Expert coaching – hear a decade’s worth of best practices and feedback on crafting your demo and messaging for Finovate’s unique audience.

The rehearsals with Greg were absolutely amazing. They really helped us to shape our presentation. So at the beginning we were super focused on the product, but by the end of the rehearsals, we really focused much, much more on the value that we’re providing to the clients and potential partners here.

-Tom Somers, UK&I Director @ SkenerioLab

• Demo videos – use your professionally edited video as a unique sales and marketing tool. Plus year over year, demoing companies have told us they receive business from companies seeing their video on Finovate.com.
• Fandom – stay in the news. We follow you for the rest of time and share your product launches, capital raised, awards earned, acquisitions and expansions made to our thousands of followers.

It’s fantastic. I think the amount of coverage that sort of Finovate gets, you’ve been sharing on LinkedIn, been very active. So just getting our name out there really helps. . . . And I think it really got us in front of the right stakeholders for our business.

-Rohan Regmi, Co-Founder @ Zeed

FinovateEurope 2024 takes place at the InterContinental O2 London over February 27 and 28.

Those who’ve been to a Finovate know the demos are unique. They are not pitches or presentations. They are seven-minute technology showcases without use of slides, videos, and mockups. They do not happen in the expo or on a stream stage. They are on the main stage during the general session without competing content. This approach delivers the highest ROI to demoers and ensures all attendees can experience the technology and discuss next steps.

There’s a competitive application process to demo at FinovateEurope next February, and the final early-bird deadline is Friday, November 24. When companies apply by this date and are selected, they receive a £1,000 to 2,000 discount on the demo fee.

When reviewing submissions and curating a demo lineup, the Finovate team looks for several things: Technology from across banking and financial services industry; companies ranging in age, size, culture, and geo footprint; recent launches or significant advancements in existing technology; partnership and other media announcements; and, of course, innovation and the competitive landscape.

For selected companies, the demo opportunity at FinovateEurope includes the 7-minutes on stage, a plug and play stand in the expo area over both event days, speaker tickets, lead gen scanning and reports, coaching calls with Finovate’s host and resident expert, and marketing and media exposure.

To move forward, review the online demo details, then submit the confidential application. Applications will be accepted after November 24 but will not receive the early-bird discount.

For companies with female founders, person-of-color founders, or a focus on ESG, check out our demo scholarship program.
