Following up on my previous post about participating in the UM6P Explorer event with my startup "Maghribinaya," here's a recap video I put together showcasing some of the highlights from the day!

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of participating in the 15th FinTech Digital Congress in Warsaw. It was quite revealing to observe the limited number of Polish startups collaborating with local banks and other financial institutions. Poland, unfortunately, does not currently present a favourable environment for fintech startups—a sentiment I recently shared with Bankier.pl. This is why we chose to register our startup in the UK. Nevertheless, our commitment to the Polish market remains unwavering. We actively engage in pivotal fintech events not only in Western Europe but also in Poland. We are dedicated to fostering a more modern, user-friendly financial ecosystem in Poland, where both individuals and small businesses can thrive. Our vision is for Polish banks and startups to be competitive on a global scale. Another noteworthy highlight of the Congress was the discussion around digital money, such as the digital zloty. Six years ago, I attempted to initiate a similar project (dPLN), but faced immediate resistance from the National Bank of Poland. However, with the impending #MiCA regulations, the landscape is poised for change. The Polish Ministry of Finance’s (Ministerstwo Finansów) announcement at the Forum about resuming work on MiCA implementations, enriched by new feedback and insights, is particularly promising. We believe in building a Digital Capitalism in Poland, exemplified by innovations like digital bonds. Our engagement in these developments underscores our commitment to contributing to a progressive financial sector in Poland. Contact us to learn more!
