FINNOSUMMIT 2025, the most influential Fintech event in Latin America, celebrates its ninth edition at a key moment for the sector, with Mexico consolidated as a financial innovation hub with more than 800 local startups and half of them operating internationally. Given the growth of the Fintech ecosystem and the demand for a larger meeting point to drive collaboration and high-impact networking on a large scale, FINNOSUMMIT 2025 is moving to Expo Santa Fe, one of the largest convention centers in Mexico City.
The event will bring together more than 2,000 leaders from the financial and adjacent industries on September 24-25 to connect, inspire and drive the design of the new financial system.
Fintech enters a new phase of consolidation
In Mexico alone, the Fintech ecosystem has grown more than 408% since the publication of the first Finnovista Fintech Radar Mexico 2016, when the country had only 158 startups. Currently, according to the latest edition of this report, Mexico has a market of over a thousand Fintech startups, with Mexican Fintechs reporting higher average revenue growth, and very good expectations for this year.
Under the concept “Fintech Beyond Disruption: the new financial system”, FINNOSUMMIT 2025 marks a milestone in the transformation of finance in the region, consolidating the Fintech sector as the strategic pillar of the new financial system. Finnosummit’s CEO, Andrés Fontao, explains that “more than a decade ago, we were just a few dreamers visualizing the potential of Fintech entrepreneurs. Back then, Fintechs were just a disruption challenging the traditional financial system, and today they are a strategic pillar of tomorrow’s finance, capable of unifying regions and building an inclusive and sustainable future hand in hand with the rest of the players in the financial industry and other adjacent sectors”.
