What is secret to this small European country's success in attracting global industry players and multinational companies?
Finance Magnates
Companies all over the world have begun forging a new digital economy, with pockets of fintech innovation buried in every corner of the globe. Amidst it all, Belgium has emerged as one such hub and many in the industry now consider it to be the fintech center of the European Union.
This relatively small country has for centuries been at the forefront of innovation, with many historical contributions to the development of science and technology. Belgian scientist Georges Lemaître first proposed the Big Bang theory in 1927, which to this date is the leading theory in physics as to the origins of the universe.
Fintech companies developing groundbreaking new technologies are increasingly drawn to Belgium as their base. The country is home to international decision-making institutions, global payment infrastructure providers, and a highly engaging business ecosystem.
In counting the number of fintech deals in 2017, Belgium currently sits at 5th place in the European fintech ranking according to B-Hive, the European fintech platform. B-Hive is a vibrant ecosystem of front-row providers of financial services, dynamic startups, and government actors working in financial and technological institutions.
Due to its central location, the capital of Brussels is easy to reach from most EU financial hubs bringing together many fintech innovators and financial institutions from all over the world. With 80 percent of European purchasing power within a 500-mile reach, Belgium is undoubtedly one of the best places to establish and grow a business.
Additionally, the traditional image of finance has changed recently. As the global economy continues to shift into a digital space, solutions for transacting without borders and limitations appeal to a younger generation who grew up with the internet at their fingertips. Fintech is a field which attracts young people especially, who bring their new energy and vision to the industry.
Homegrown Innovation
Brussels and other Belgian cities are known for providing excellent opportunities for fintech companies with high R&D funding, attracting multinational companies to open their offices there with a potential to reach well across Europe. Dozens of research centers, incubators, accelerators, and science parks, as well as over 100 tech companies, are contributing to the innovation ecosystem that continues to grow.
The Flemish city of Leuven, in particular, earned its reputation as a vital tech center due to the role of the local tech giant IMEC. This independent research hub for global electronics and digital community, focusing on nanoelectronics and digital technologies, is home to 4,000 people working on the latest cutting-edge tech and hardware improvement.
IMEC’s cleanroom capacities, living labs, and training facilities are of invaluable importance for product fine-tuning, while their funds and entrepreneurial support, especially merged with iMinds, the Flemish digital research center, help new digital and tech companies set off and grow successfully.
Political Support, Local Vision
To help companies reach the market and implement regulative standards, Belgium is home to several organizations working in both the European and international level of financial activity, including the European Association of Payment Service Providers, Federation FinTech Belgium, and the European Association for Secure Transactions.
When it comes to funding, fintech startups and growth-stage companies can count on the extensive funding support of the Belgian government. Backed by insurance companies and banks, the government has brought together several major investors to create a super-fund for tech projects.
Entrepreneurs, scientists, and businesses come together, thriving through a strong network of scale-ups, while expanded tax shelters and fiscal incentives for investments in development support the growth of companies. This is especially important for young startups and SMEs looking to break ground in the highly competitive fintech market.
Directly and indirectly, the Council is affecting the ways citizens of over 34 European countries pay for their goods every day, equating to almost 40 billion transactions yearly. The standardization set by EPC is the norm for payment cards, also influencing the interoperability of mobile payments at the European level, improving their convenience, safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

These are vital aspects that must be accounted for in the endeavors of any fintech company. No matter how cutting-edge the underlying technology is, the payment service providers inevitably have to consider and apply the standards set by EPC, to be able to serve as broad a community base as possible. Therefore, it is much easier for card producers to be local to the institutions providing these systemic guidelines.
Fintech companies based in Belgium not only benefit from the high growth of the region but are positioned in the front row as the broader European market unfolds. In order for the fintech industry to thrive globally, we need strong bases like Belgium, which nurture innovation, with both political and local support helping to carry forward the vision of these ambitious teams. Only then can these teams driving the fintech movement reach beyond their local folds and truly transform the economy on a global scale.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
