Guests of this podcast episode are Michal Ciffra and Josef Jelačič, with whom we presented the initiative CEE FinTech Week 2026. Moderated by Ondřej Mikulčík. Three important conferences will be connected in one week in Prague. ETH Prague, FinTechers Unbundled and The FinTech Roadmap. This creates a comprehensive fintech week that aims to connect key players from the fields of crypto, traditional finance and technological innovation across the CEE region.
The aim is to create a natural meeting place for the fintech community from CEE. Startup founders, investors, corporations, regulators and technology leaders can visit three themed events within a few days to meet partners and inspiration in one place. Prague will for one week become the center of discussion on the future of digital finance in the region.
In the interview, we also opened the current events in the cryptocurrency markets, the mood in venture capital and the new fintech models that are emerging across Europe today. However, the main theme of the episode is the invitation of fintech professionals from all over the region to Prague and the effort to jointly strengthen the importance of Central and Eastern Europe on the global fintech map. The podcast is in English.
