    FinTech Belgium Media Podcast - DFS25 - InvestHK Brussels

    In this episode, Koen is joined by Paula Kant and Fernando de la Cal González from InvestHK Brussels to unpack why Hong Kong is emerging as a high-precision launchpad for European fintechs looking to scale into Asia and how the city’s dense financial ecosystem, global capital access and pragmatic, domain-based regulation create fast, testable paths to market. The discussion breaks down the key differences between scaling in the EU versus operating in Hong Kong, from focused licensing and common-law familiarity to follow-the-customer entry strategies that deliver early wins while spotlighting high-opportunity sectors including payments, crypto, e-commerce, and insurtech, along with accelerators, investor access, and Science Park links into the Greater Bay Area.  Through real-world case studies such as DPAM Asset Management, Fineos and CurrencyFair, this episode offers founders practical tactics they can model today - plus a clear view on near-term trends and how to engage directly with Invest Hong Kong.

    FinTech Belgium Media Podcast - DFS25 - Curity

    In this episode, Koen is joined by Sutton Maxwell from Curity to discuss how AI is reshaping the risk surface for banks and fintechs and why identity and API security must be designed in from day one. This conversation aims to break down how teams can set the right API guardrails, balance user experience with trust and build hybrid architectures that meet regulatory demands without sacrificing speed. The discussion further explores why so many AI pilots fail when security is bolted on too late, the most common mistakes teams make when introducing controls and how risk-based friction can actually strengthen customer trust. From US-led speed in AI adoption to Europe’s regulatory-first approach this episode provides practical, founder-level advice on KYC, OAuth and OIDC, and explains how getting identity right can turn compliance into a true growth advantage.

    FinTech Belgium Media Podcast - DFS25 - Mifundo

    In this episode, Koen is joined by Kaido Saar from Mifundo to explore why Europe’s fragmented credit data system continues to block fair lending for people who move across borders and how Mifundo is working to make financial identities truly portable. The conversation unpacks the difference between cross-border credit and real financial mobility, tracing the historical and regulatory forces that have locked credit data inside national silos. This discussion also dives into how Mifundo now connects banks and credit bureaus across 17 countries, covering more than 70% of Europe’s population, and what mindset shift lenders and supervisors need to support seamless lending while also tackling how AI can be used responsibly under the EU’s high-risk AI rules - delivering explainability and trust without black-box decisions.  This episode therefore offers a practical look at the endgame: fair, borderless access to credit that works for consumers, banks and the wider financial ecosystem.
