DESCRIPTION



KPMG Luxembourg and BayPay announce first joint event in Luxembourg

The KPMG Hub for Entrepreneurship (the Khube) and BayPay Forum are proud to announce their first joint event in Luxembourg. The event, which revolves around the present and future of one of the key pillars of FinTech, aims at answering an important question for banks and financial institutions: The payment industry in Luxembourg: Where are we today? And what are the future trends?

BayPay Forum is an innovation accelerator, based in Silicon Valley, which focuses on trends and innovation in the payment and e-commerce industry. Luxembourg came to the accelerator’s attention last year, when its reputation as a European payments hub had grown to such an extent that its standing in the area become known in the US. Luxembourg’s proactive and innovative approach to the burgeoning digital payment industry, and its open-minded regulator, the CSSF, have proved to be attractive to the growing number of businesses establishing themselves in Luxembourg.

This first networking event will bring together professionals from across the payments industry to share their insights into the latest developments in the sector. Bringing their experience to the table will be Daniel Chatelain, the CEO of BayPay Forum, and Alexandre Rochegude, Head of the Khube and former CEO of the award-winning Luxembourg-based mobile payment solution FlashiZ. Luxembourg law firm Wildgen, will also contribute to the debate, and cover the payments industry from a regulatory angle. Entrepreneurs who have chosen to establish their business in Luxembourg will also be called upon to share their experiences. Among these will be SnapSwap, the US company that received the first Luxembourg Bit License, and EMP Corp, the Luxembourg-based company, since 2013, that processed €220 million in payments in 2015. The event will be hosted at the local incubator lux future lab, which has many FinTech start-ups amongst the companies it is hosting. The event will close with a panel discussion on industry trends, moderated by the CEO of the business intelligence platform Vital Briefing, David Shrieberg.

The event constitutes an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest trends and developments when it comes to payments in Luxembourg. Companies can discuss what the future may bring, while also making connections with other industry professionals and establishing business relationships with the experts.

The Khube is a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs, based in Luxembourg and launched in June 2015. It aims at supporting innovative companies and gives them support running, funding and growing their business throughout Europe.
