The place to meet the right people.

We know that founders and corporate innovators face similar issues regarding regulations, fragmented data and the lack of advanced technology in the digital finance sector. It’s time for solutions.

We created a FinTech accelerator that is not only for startups but for corporates, too. Our successful approach is to bring both sides of the ecosystem together for multiple days on a platform established to forge pivotal connections, exchange knowledge and actively shape the future of finance with other top players in Frankfurt.

"Joining TechQuartier’s Digital Finance Accelerator has been an intense and truly inspiring journey. In just a few weeks, we had the opportunity to challenge our vision, engage with top-tier financial institutions, and meet outstanding experts who generously shared their insights. On top of that, we built strong connections with brilliant founders from across Europe. It’s rare to find a program that combines strategic depth, open doors, and such a supportive team. Huge thanks to TechQuartier for this valuable experience — and for being a real springboard for what’s next."
