Ernst & Young's (EY) FinTech Growth programme is the third such programme that Snugg will be participating in, following our previous inclusion in Lloyds Banking Group's Launch Innovation Programme and TSB’s Innovation Labs programme.
What is EY's FinTech Growth Programme?
The FinTech Growth Programme is an intensive 6-week initiative designed to propel the growth of the most promising fintech scaleups in the country.
The programme brings together industry experts and seasoned EY professionals, and it features insight-led seminars to equip participating companies with the tools, resources and networking opportunities to fuel their growth.
As participants, the Snugg team will gain valuable insights into a variety of areas, such as legal frameworks, fundraising strategies, international expansion and much more.
The programme is managed by Katja Palovaara, a notable name in the fintech world, and is based at EY's Canary Wharf office in London.
