According to Statista.com,

  • Transaction Value 🇸🇪 is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2017-2021) of 20.0 % resulting in the total amount of US$34,754m in 2021.

  • From a global comparison perspective it is shown that the highest transaction value is reached in China (US$1,086,493m in 2017).

In the previous post, I mentioned that there would be Stockholm Fintech Hub, the first fintech startup hub in Stockholm, in 2017.

So today I’d like to share some info about them.

Vision

What if fintech startups, regulators and banks could fika together every day?”

Stockholm Fintech Hub

They are trying to connect startups, financial institutions and regulators in a move aimed at creating solutions and opportunities that give the Swedish fintech ecosystem a jump ahead of the world competition.

Building bridges, not walls

They depict that access to financial institutions is needed by entrepreneurs for their infrastructure, services and data.

On the other hand, financial Institutions are also looking for new ideas to help customers and experimental thinking.

Moreover, entrepreneurs need access to an ecosystem of professional services providers while service providers like law firms, accountants and software developers are eager to build relationships and keep a finger on the pulse of innovation.

And, entrepreneurs need capital from investors whilst investors want easy access to successful startups.

What Stockholm Fintech Hub has tried to do is to build bridges among these stakeholders, which can lead to win-win relationship at the end of the day.

 

Membership

Like other co-working spaces, they also offer membership, including wifi, coffee and tea, access to meeting rooms at member rates, and office services.

Lounge/Co-workingStarting at 2,500 SEK / month
Full time 4,000 SEK / month
Dedicated Desk5,500 SEK / month
Own officeStarting at 8,000 SEK per desk / month
Day rate250 SEK per desk / day

 

Since the country (government) has already defined that the next startup trend is fintech and they would strive to make everything best about it, don’t miss the chance to see what’s going on Stockholm Fintech Hub and the Stockholm fintech scene!!
