Over the past few years, the financial industry has witnessed unprecedented developments in FinTech, including innovation in mobile payments, digital currencies, blockchain, and more. Fintech innovations have grown enormously and are expected to continue to rise as new players challenge the traditional financial and banking system.
In the past five years, global investments in FinTech rose from $65 billion to $200 billion. Similarly, venture capital investments have risen from $17 billion to $37 billion in the same period, and there are 66 FinTech unicorns today valued at $248 billion.
The Spar Nord Foundation's Fintech Scholarship program is a unique opportunity to study a semester at UC Berkeley, California, learn how to develop a start-up from leading experts in entrepreneurship from the Silicon Valley ecosystem, and learn more about the world of financial technology (FinTech). The FinTech Scholar will share the journey with fellow students while co-living as part of the program. Furthermore, the program supports the FinTech Scholar with logistics, through the visa process and will cover all necessary expenses.
While the scholar studies at Berkeley, they also benefit from exposure to the outstanding Silicon Valley entrepreneurship ecosystem and take part in an intensive entrepreneurship program — the SPARK program — designed and organized by Innovations Centre Denmark in close collaboration with local entrepreneurship gurus and FinTech industry leaders. The program brings the students from early idea to a fully-fledged business concept.
The program follows the Fall semester at UC Berkeley starting on August 18th through December 17th. If you wish to apply, submit your application through www.fintechscholarship.dk deadline: May 10th.
