The accelerator is powered by MiddleGame Ventures and Farvest in partnership with the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology, Enterprise Ireland and the Fintech & Payments Association of Ireland.
The cohort will participate in a customised curriculum built from the ground up with experienced venture capital knowledge from MiddleGame Ventures.
Partners for the 2019 NadiFin Fintech accelerator programme include Pictet, Fuchs, Telindus, Arendt, Enterprise Ireland, the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland, Grant Thornton, WeWork Labs, Amazon Web Services and Stripe.
The first cohort accelerator convened this week in Luxembourg and will be reconvening in Dublin from 10 to 14 June.
