Who are We?
Ireland South East is home to Ireland’s largest cohort of financial services outside of Dublin.
Ireland is the fourth largest exporter of financial services in the world, with partners across the globe. (ref UNCTAD 2022)
We aim to bond the traditional and emerging financial services and FinTech community to engage with peers, partner, bounce ideas, look for tips and hints, get and give mentorship. Our goal is to bridge our community internationally – capturing the growth potential for all.
“When we moved here we employed 20 people. This has since grown to 1,800 people worldwide – We build world-class financial technologies which make life easier for companies doing business internationally. A huge amount of our innovation is driven by very smart people in the South East of Ireland. Fortunately as we have grown – we have attracted a lot of our great people back home to the region. Everything is possible when you have great team of people focused on being the best.”
