Supporting the FinTech Community - Lead Sponsor of the FinTech Summit 2024
Scotland has its roots in financial services and is establishing itself as a FinTech hub. The CMS FinTech team works alongside clients at all stages of their lifecycle. We understand FinTech clients, working with many of our existing clients in this space when they were start-ups or scale-ups.
We are leading advisors in FinTech, electronic money, distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence, cyber security, privacy, and the use of social media by financial institutions.
The FinTech ecosystem in Scotland continues to grow at pace, and CMS is committed to supporting Scotland's world class FinTechs. We are delighted to be the headline sponsor at the 2024 FinTech Summit. Following the success of last year’s partnership, it’s a great opportunity to meet with key industry players, existing connections and to make new connections within the FinTech and Financial Services community.
Despite a challenging economic landscape, the FinTech sector has continued to thrive in Scotland and the wider UK, with FinTech investment in the UK in the first half of 2024 second only to the US. Our team of specialist lawyers enjoy the vibrancy of working with the diverse range of organisations that operate in this sector, from FinTech start-ups looking to grow their businesses, to established financial institutions acquiring the latest fintech technologies or bank consortiums looking to outsource payment solutions.
