It is now well known that fintech played a primary role in overcoming the crisis triggered by the pandemic two years ago by enabling many small and medium-sized businesses to obtain funding in a very short time. Now we need to go a step further and try to bring the same companies’ other tools to simplify internal processes and services: from invoicing to payments, from analyzing prospect and customer data to digitizing the buying and selling process, and much more. Our call for startups to join B2B FINTECH FOR FUTURE will make it possible to identify many innovative startups that can support small and medium-sized enterprises in the transition towards increased digitization, and we are proud that it is happening within Federated Innovation @MIND.”
