Accelerator – General Accelerator

TQ Accelerator: Digital Finance

Meet the right people. They want to meet you.

We know that founders and corporate innovators face similar issues regarding regulations, fragmented data and the lack of advanced technology in the digital finance sector. It’s time for solutions.

For the first time, we are creating a new kind of FinTech accelerator that is not only for startups but for corporates and public organizations, too. Our new approach is to bring both sides of the ecosystem together for multiple days on a platform established to forge pivotal connections, exchange knowledge and actively shape the future of finance with other top players in Frankfurt.  

Leveraging the flexibility and agility of startups in implementing new technologies, such as generative AI, the program aims to drive innovation and create tangible solutions for the finance industry. It provides startups with unparalleled access to corporate partners and key industry connections in Frankfurt’s Financial Center.  These two sectors will come together to exchange knowledge, explore emerging trends and learn more about regulation, data aggregation, cybersecurity and AI from the experts.
