Swedbank Seedtalks
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Swedbank Seedtalks is a monthly meetup series hosted at the Swedbank DoBe innovation space aiming to bring together forces of Baltic finance, technology and startup communities.
Once a month, anyone interested in technology, startups and banking is invited to join and dig deeper on specific topics related to innovation. The series covers a wide range of subjects and offers experienced speakers, experts and founders sharing their knowledge in their particular field, ranging from cyber security, payments and e-commerce to blockchain and artificial intelligence.
During the era of online events, Swedbank Seedtalks successfully moved online and continued to discover new approaches and challenge the assumptions about technology, startups, and innovation.
