\n

\u201cOur mission is to guide the best FinTech projects with the execution of their commercial objectives at a regional level, through the Startupbootcamp program.

During the event in Miami, Andr\u00e9s Fontao, Managing Partner of Finnovista<\/strong>, shared with the attendees his vision about the growing interest of FinTech in Latin America by national, regional and international investment funds.<\/p>\n

From his experience, the market presents some evidence of the principal trends in the sector. A clear example is the transformation that digital banking has brought in the offer and diversity of financial services, Andr\u00e9s said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

He also pointed out the controversy that the new Fintech regulation in Mexico has awakened, and how it has given certainty and dynamism to the industry. Above all, it has created interest in other countries to follow the example.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFintech in Latin America are gaining even more interest for venture capital in the global regions. Clip and Softbank are recent proof of that, but the most important is how the relations between startups and traditional financial institutions are getting manage\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
