FinTech North is unique not only due to its regional focus, but also because it is not aligned to a particular city and operates across the North.
As part of UK Tech Week 2026, FinTech North will be hosting their fourth annual Liverpool Conference on 19 March.
Julian Wells, Director of FinTech North, said:
“We’re thrilled to be taking part in UK Tech Week 2026, hosting Liverpool’s premier FinTech conference on 19 March. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the unique strengths of Liverpool’s fintech community and bring together stakeholders from across the ecosystem to drive innovation and investment. It’s great to be part of a week that celebrates the incredible tech activity happening right now across the UK.”
