We partnered up with Luminor and Mooncascade to reinvent the way banking and financial technologies are today and make them more efficient and useful by finding the solutions that people actually need. As 2019 might as well be the year of Open Banking, it is important for banks to be confident and collaborative to push for the bright future. With these event series, we advocated the mutual relationship between banks and third-parties to generate an improved customer experience, new revenue streams, a sustainable service model for underserved markets, and dynamic services.
Idea Garage: Open Banking started on the 20th of May in Tallinn and for the next 2 consecutive days visited Riga and Vilnius, to combine the creative ecosystem of Baltic states for delivering and validating ideas, which could change the way of banking forever. We brought together the best mentors and the best participants to work in this elaborate workshop. During the series of events total of 47 inventive ideas were pitched and 17 of them will continue to work and bring value and efficiency to the industry.
Finally, after a continuous journey of 3 days in 3 different countries and 3 cities, we have boosted the evolution of open banking technologies and seeded a new generation of financial technologies, which will give the advantage to make banking more efficient for all of the stakeholders.
