ING FinTech Village, the launchpad for your business in Europe.

We are glad to introduce you to the third edition of ING’s FinTech Village.

FinTech Village is a platform of ING that allows start-up/scale-up companies to work closely together with the bank on a specific topic. In an intensive 16-week programme full of powerful master classes, the selected startups & scale-ups work closely together with a sponsor, a senior leader in the bank, to solve a concrete business issue, proven by a successful POC/POV.

The strength/uniqueness of the programme is that during these 16 weeks, the scale-ups/start-ups don’t only grow to their next level of maturity, but also develop a real proof of concept within the bank.

Thanks to the tailor-made programme, the personal approach and a strong and early involvement of senior sponsors of the bank, the track record of FinTech Village since its launch in 2016 is very impressive. Both in the share of companies with whom we end up actively working beyond the programme, but also in our ability to go fast and compress time for everyone:

  • In 2016, 7 start-up companies participated, realizing 6 POCs during the programme- and the bank continued with 3 of them in a commercial agreement.
  • In 2017, 9 companies participated, realizing 9 POCs during the programme – and the bank is currently continuing with more than 5 of them.

The programme has been a great experience both for the teams at ING as well as the alumni of our programme.

Hear about their personal experiences in the following short videos:

For the 2018 edition of FinTech Village, ING is looking for start-up/scale-up companies that bring innovative solutions in the following topics:

  • Personal Banking: Help us make the relationship with our best customers extremely personal and extremely digital at the same time.
  • Secure Banking: Help us make the bank more secure, especially in the field of cyber.
  • Efficient Banking: Help us make significant improvements to our customer delivery.
  • Beyond Banking: Help us disrupt ourselves and the industry.

These options are not limited. If you have something truly great that does not fit in one of the above categories, we would be happy to hear all about it as well.

ING FinTech Village, in collaboration with our partners Deloitte and SWIFT Innotribe, is the ideal platform to launch your business in the Benelux and across Europe.
