Norway Fintech Festival 2025 is over, but it won’t be forgotten anytime soon! 💜     Now in its third year, NFF has become a key tradition for many in the financial ecosystem – both here at home and in the Nordics.      👆 This year saw a 20% increase in attendees compared to 2024, and our international audience grew to an impressive 35%. NFF is expanding, and with over 100 speakers and 80 sessions packed into two days, the biggest challenge was choosing what to attend—the true festival experience!      🤩 The festival kicked off with a packed session from the legendary Costas Markides, followed by a powerful keynote by Rune Garborg on how Nordic payments will compete—and win—against global big tech. From there on out, parallel sessions were happening across 4 stages throughout both days, diving into everything from the latest trends to brand-new product launches.     And who can forget the magical concert with Åsane City (watch out for these guys!) and the amazing Dagny, keeping many festival attendees up way into the night. 🌙🥂      🖐 We can’t wait to welcome you back next year. Mark your calendars — Norway Fintech Festival 2026 is set for April 21-23. 📅 See you there! -The Festival Team - Rea, Håkon, Anna, Anne Marie, Hedda, Simen, Cecilie, Hedda, Torbjørn
