On Wednesday 22 November, the LHoFT Foundation and BCEE (Spuerkeess), with the support of the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX), organised a conference at the BCEE on 19 Ave de la Liberté, showcasing eleven of Spain's most interesting financial technology companies.
The conference attracted more than 100 banking and financial services executives.
Alex Panican, Head of Partnerships and Ecosystem at the LHoFT Foundation commented: “The LHoFT is thrilled to have organised this Spanish Fintech Roadshow, with the great support of BCEE, the Luxembourg Spanish Embassy and the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX). Some local actors have already express great interest in some of the solutions and I am pretty sure the relation between Luxembourg and Spain, on the Fintech stage, will grow even stronger from now on. As always, we are very appreciative for the support and the commitment from the whole community in order to make this event a success.”
Françoise Thoma, CEO of BCEE, added: “Entering the digital age creates an unprecedented opportunity for financial actors, regulators and training facilities to work together in order to develop the appropriate products and solutions. Luxembourg is the perfect place to make this happen.”
Jorge Alvar Villegas, ICEX Director, mentioned: "We are delighted with the contacts Spanish companies made and the warm reception we received from our Luxembourgian hosts. We truly believe we can build bridges; many things are changing fast in both countries. It was our first event in Luxembourg but it will not be the last one.”
