Nordic Night co hosted by CRIF

Join us for an exclusive evening of networking and insights co-hosted by CRIF (our partner with offices in Singapore) and Copenhagen Fintech. This special gathering will bring together Nordic and Southeast Asian fintech leaders for an open exchange around the platform economy, super app models, and their connections to the Nordic context.

This event welcomes the full Nordic delegation, along with other Nordic groups, partners, and prospects in Singapore’s thriving fintech scene.

As geopolitical uncertainty rises, fintech ecosystems across regions face both new challenges and opportunities. Right now, we are witnessing a “perfect storm” of regulatory momentum (open finance, digital ID, AI Act), technology acceleration (AI, cloud, tokenisation, stablecoins, and CBDCs), and shifting geopolitical priorities.

This session will explore what Europe and the Nordics can learn from Asia ( and vice versa ) through practical lessons from platform economies, regulatory innovation, and public-private collaboration.
