Digital Transformation Specialists GFT Upgrade To Become Strategic Partner Of FinTech North



FinTech North is thrilled to announce that digital transformation specialists GFT have extended and upgraded their partnership with us to Strategic Partners.

As part of the North’s largest FinTech community platform, GFT will strategically support the best and brightest FinTech businesses across the region. This enhanced partnership will reinforce FinTech North’s efforts to drive innovation and growth within the local FinTech sector.

With over 12,000 employees globally, GFT advises and supports some of the world’s largest financial institutions. Since expanding its UK operations with its launch in Manchester, GFT has brought unparalleled expertise to digitally enable FinTech businesses based in the North.

FinTech North and GFT have worked together in partnership for the last 2 years, and the extension and upgrade of our partnership only bolsters what was already a strong relationship.

Across two years spanning 2022 to 2024, GFT and FinTech North have worked together to deliver two successful webinars, Creating Real Business Value from AI and Digital Assets – The Next Generation of Finance. GFT has come on board as brand sponsors of both of our previous Manchester conferences – in 2022 and our most recent record breaking Manchester Conference in 2023.

FinTech North is ecstatic to strengthen our fruitful relationship with GFT over the next 12 months. GFT will come on board as brand sponsors of our highly anticipated Manchester Conference in November 2024 and co-curate a series of webinars.

Carlton Hopper, UK Managing Director, GFT, commented: “Upgrading our partnership with FinTech North to Strategic Partners is a testament to our shared vision for the future of FinTech in the North. We are committed to leveraging our expertise to drive technological advancement and support the thriving community of innovators and entrepreneurs in the region.”

Joe Roche, Engagement Manager at FinTech North, added: “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with GFT once again, following their brilliant support of last year’s Manchester conference. As a global FinTech innovation specialist and one of the brightest new names in the North, we’re thrilled to collaborate once more to support the development of FinTech here in Manchester and champion northern innovation.”
