EY official Pitch360 drinks reception

Wednesday, 30 April 2025 | 16:30–20:00 BST

Venue: EY office, 25 Churchill Place, London, E14 5EY

Join us for engaging evening of networking with industry peers at our EY Pitch360 drinks reception, taking place following the pitching competition at nearby Level39, Canary Wharf during UK FinTech Week.

Event highlights:

Welcome address: Thomas Bull, EY UK FinTech Growth Lead, will share key insights from the day.
Keynote speaker: Peter Arnold, EY UK Chief Economist, will discuss the economic landscape and its impact on funding opportunities for FinTechs.

With the UK economy projected to experience steady growth in 2025 — driven by increased government and consumer spending — exciting opportunities lie ahead for FinTech startups seeking funding. The UK continues to lead as a premier destination for FinTech investment, supported by government-backed initiatives aimed at stimulating high-growth sectors. Despite broader economic challenges, we anticipate more avenues for funding to emerge, providing significant opportunities for innovative startups.

This reception will be a relaxed and enjoyable occasion to build new connections, discuss ideas, and reflect on the day's events. We look forward to welcoming you and hope you can join us.
