We are a FinTech-centric network. We are committed to exponentially rising the potential of the Portuguese scenario as a FinTech venture hub and to creating a united ecosystem where every FinTech, InsureTech, RegTech and Cybersecurity company in Portugal can constantly interact with regulators, legislators, consultants, banks, investors and other relevant entities.

We are currently witnessing a global shift favorable to the development of these startups, in which some of the key trends are impossible to ignore:

-   Consumers are more demanding about the quality of the products, ease of  use and the context where they 
     appear;
-   The regulators' focus on consumer-centric policies;
-   The profitability issues faced by a significant part of the sector that creates pressure to reduce cost while 
     increasing revenues;
-   Technological advancement for traditional institutions provoked by regulatory scenario (e.g. PSD2, GDPR, MIFID 
     II, IFRS);
-   Opening the banking and financial sectors to new players and disruptors.

We strongly believe FinTech, InsurTech and RegTech startups have a fundamental role in this shift - both as a catalyzer and as a continuous developer - and only through a close collaboration with incumbents and regulators will it be possible to unlock their full potential. Portugal FinTech has the core objective of creating a favorable environment for this connection to happen by:
 
-   Enabling banks and insurance companies to have common ground for dialogue about potential collaborations 
     with startups and their benefits;
-   Collaborating with regulatory agencies and legislators to help create an easier, faster and clearer environment for 
     innovation;
-   Supporting the international growth of startups through the network's partnerships.
