HES FinTech is heading to London this June, as our co-founder and CEO Ivan Kovalenko joins the city-wide celebration of innovation that is London Tech Week 2025. From 9 to 13 June, more than 45,000 founders, investors, policymakers, and technologists will converge on the capital; the flagship expo and content stages take place at Olympia London from 9 to 11 June, with dozens of fringe events carrying the conversation across the city for the rest of the week.
For Ivan, the trip is an opportunity to exchange ideas on three themes shaping the future of finance.
First, the rise of AI-powered lending, where alternative data and real-time decision engines promise faster, fairer credit. Second, the push toward inclusive finance, ensuring MSMEs and underserved borrowers can access the capital they need to grow. And third, the intricate craft of digital transformation under regulation – finding elegant ways to pair breakthrough technology with the strict frameworks that keep financial systems safe.
Ivan’s calendar still has room for coffee chats on the Olympia show floor, podcast or panel invitations, and partnership brainstorms throughout the week.
