Supporting fintechs

At FinTech Scotland, we are dedicated to supporting the growth and success of fintech businesses by connecting them with the resources, expertise, and opportunities they need to thrive. Our support extends across the Scottish fintech cluster, creating pathways to collaboration with leading accelerators, incubators, and tailored support programmes designed to accelerate innovation and drive business growth.

We also help fintechs tap into the expertise of our strategic partners, offering unparalleled access to knowledge and guidance in areas critical to success. From recruitment strategies and exporting opportunities to raising investment and building resilience, our partners bring deep insights across a wide range of themes.

Together, we work to ensure fintechs have the tools and connections they need to innovate, scale, and achieve their ambitions within Scotland and beyond.

Through a combination of tailored support and strategic initiatives, we provide fintechs with opportunities to amplify their visibility and connect with their target audiences.

We offer avenues for exposure through content, engaging podcasts, and participation in high-impact events. We also leverage our active presence on social media and strong relationships with media outlets to secure opportunities that highlight the achievements and growth of fintechs within Scotland’s vibrant cluster. Whether it’s sharing success stories, promoting key milestones, or facilitating industry recognition, we work closely with fintechs to ensure their voices are heard and their influence continues to grow.

We help with the commercial success of fintech businesses by creating valuable collaboration opportunities across industries. By connecting fintechs with established financial firms and other sectors, we enable partnerships that solve real-world challenges and unlock new growth possibilities.

Through tailored one-to-one introductions and focused innovation calls, we bridge the gap between industry problems and the right fintech solutions. These collaborations address pressing business needs and open doors to new markets, clients, and revenue streams. Our approach ensures that fintechs have the support and connections they need to thrive commercially.

We help fintech businesses secure the investment they need to scale and thrive by leveraging our extensive connectivity with investors across Scotland, the UK, and globally. Our strong network of venture capitalists, angel investors, and funding bodies ensures fintechs have access to the right opportunities to match their growth ambitions.

We also work closely with Scottish Enterprise to identify tailored funding options and co-investment opportunities, aligning fintechs with the financial backing they need to realise their potential.

We support fintechs in exporting their solutions to markets worldwide. Through our strategic partners, many of whom have a global presence, we provide fintechs with the connections and expertise needed to navigate international markets and expand their reach as well as provide a safe landing pad.

Our extensive network of international fintech hubs spans six continents, offering fintechs unique opportunities to connect with global ecosystems and showcase their innovations on a world stage.

Additionally, we collaborate closely with Scottish Development International and the UK Department for Business and Trade to identify and facilitate export opportunities through trade missions or representation at global events.
