The most difficult part for [European] companies is to overcome the [market] fragmentation on the national levels. A more competitive market means better quality, better price and innovation. It is of great importance that topics like this are being discussed at this conference.

Frankfurt Digital Finance is ideal for startups to meet the relevant players under one roof. We have had a number of startups from our accelerator and it was amazing to see how many contacts they made in one day – work that normally takes us 3 months. I encourage international startups to attend and present themselves.
