Nicola will take the stage again at IFGS, the flagship event of the week, to discuss regional fintech growth. The session will build on the recent Innovate UK report, to which FinTech Scotland contributed. With over 1,500 attendees and participants from more than 70 countries, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Scottish fintech cluster on the world stage.

In the evening, Nicola will join industry leaders at the exclusive NVIDIA: AI in FSI Meet-Up. This gathering will explore how AI is transforming financial services, from boosting operational efficiency to enhancing customer experience and managing risk.

Wednesday 30 April

We’ll be at the FCA RegTech Forum, an event designed to foster innovation and growth in UK regulatory technology. Delivered in partnership with Innovate Finance and the City of London Corporation, this forum will explore the role of RegTech in supporting the evolving needs of financial services.

On the same day we’ll also be cheering on the next generation of fintech talent at Pitch360, where ten innovative companies will go head-to-head with just three minutes to pitch their bold ideas.

The day will conclude with a celebration of fintech innovation at an event organised in partnership with our strategic partner BT. This invitation-only reception at BT Tower will focus on a critical enabler of fintech innovation. We’ll explore how technology and connectivity are essential to the future of AI, with keynote insights from BT introducing their Global Fabric.

Thursday 1 May

We return to Scotland for the Financial Services Technology Summit hosted by Digit. Nicola will join a panel of industry leaders, discussing the intersection of technology and operational resilience in financial services. This session will cover practical strategies, regulatory shifts, and real-world case studies.
She will be joined by Derek Shanks, Head of Digital Technology, Lloyds Banking Group, Yvonne Dunn, Partner at Pinsent Masons, Rob Mossop, Chief Data Officer at Sword and Stephen Johnston, Distinguished Engineer at Barclays Group.

To round off the week, we’ll be hosting a Scottish fintech gathering, an evening of networking, community, and collaboration. We’re inviting the entire Scottish fintech community to come together, connect and celebrate past and future successes.
