Networking events in Berlin for finance and fintech
More than a third of German fintechs are based in Berlin, while most large banks and the supervisors sit in Frankfurt and Bonn. Networking in Berlin therefore leans toward founders, product people and engineers. Below are the formats, the events where finance people meet, and what Finance Loop does in the city. Dated events are in the calendar further down.
What networking in Berlin looks like
The Berlin networking listings on Eventbrite show evening socials for tech, business and founders, breakfast and brunch networking, speed networking and language clubs, with events in English, German, Spanish and French. Women-only formats such as WomenHack and She Connects have their own dates. On Meetup the large Berlin groups are built around a discipline: a product community with more than 20,000 members, the Python group PyBerlin with about 7,000, a coworking club and an AI and computer vision meetup.
For people in finance this means you find your peers at subject events more than at general mixers. A payments product owner meets other payments people at a payments conference, and a founder in digital assets meets investors at the blockchain week.
Where finance and fintech people meet in Berlin
FIBE, the fintech festival of Berlin, is a two-day conference and expo at CityCube Berlin. Payment Exchange, the Payment & Banking conference, brings product owners at banks, payment managers on the merchant side and regulatory lawyers together, and the German payments market is small enough that they meet each other again and again.
For digital assets, the address is w3.hub. It hosts the Berlin Blockchain Festival, which its organizers call Europe's largest web3 festival, and other organizers fill the same week with parallel summits. The Bitcoin Bundesverband, the German bitcoin association, was formed in Berlin.
Finance Loop in Berlin
Finance Loop started in Frankfurt and also holds events in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg. In Berlin it supported the German Blockchain & AI Week 2025 at w3.hub with more than 60 speakers, and its masterclass Bitcoin for Investors runs in Berlin for professional investors and advisors. Finance Loop is one of the founding members of the Bitcoin Bundesverband.
Berlin founders and investors also travel to Finance Loop events in Frankfurt: several of them took part in the FinTech Founder & Investor Evening there.
