B-Hive, a European collaborative innovation fintech platform that brings together major banks, insurers and market infrastructure players has joined the Fintech Power 50 as an official partner. Fintech Power 50 is one of the accelerator programs that helps the fintech startups around the world.
This program recognises the game changers in the industry that are making a difference. The accelerator program involves 10 influencers and 40 fintech startups and connects the latter with the real innovators of the industry.
With this partnership, B-Hive will promote the members to a global audience. This is possible by helping the startups by organising networking and event opportunities to the startup community.
Startups will be benefited
Over 450 fintech startups applied to be a part of the Power 50 accelerator program founded this year. Of these, 40 fintechs were chosen based on their flair, innovativeness and creativity. UK-based Fintech Power 50 hopes to create a central hub, which will be recognised in the UK as well globally. Businesses of all sizes and shapes can be benefited as they will get a platform to showcase their product globally.
Regarding this partnership, Jason Williams, the founder of Fintech Power 50 said, “People might see this as another power list but that is not what we are here for. We take into consideration the fintech’s needs and what it takes to help them get to the next level. These startups are in different stages and thus, they have different needs. Power 50 is designed to help them grow globally and our ultimate goal is to make a difference in the fintech industry.”
B-Hive becomes a partner
B-Hive is an innovative fintech company with international hubs located in London, New York and Tel Aviv. And, as it becomes an official partner of Power 50, it will support the fintech startups all over the world along with the accelerator.
Talking about this partnership, Fabian Vandenreydt, the Executive Chairman of B-Hive said, “B-Hive always wants to support great initiatives such as the Power 50. Jason’s passion for the project has been contagious and we are happy to join the program as a partner. Together with Jason, we hope to create a global ecosystem where the members will not only attend our events, but secure their investment opportunities and help inspire the growth and innovation of the fintech industry.”
