NFW Investor Roundtable: Beyond SaaS: AI Agents Restructuring Fintech
When the Software Starts Doing the Work
Investor oundtable · Nordic Fintech Week
AI agents are beginning to shift fintech from software that people operate into systems that can increasingly carry out the work themselves.
This closed roundtable brings together investors, founders, and operators to explore what that shift looks like in practice, and what changes when you build, sell, and scale a product that is doing more of the work on the customer’s behalf.
Three discussions: which problems agents are actually solving today, how far autonomy can realistically go and where the limits remain, and where durable value sits as the underlying models become more capable.
Nordic Fintech Week ticket required.
Co-hosted by BlackFin Capital Partners and Seed Capital
Lunch Talk about Data, Behaviour and the Economics of Long-Term Security.
Private health insurance, pension savings and increasing life expectancy are reshaping the relationship between individuals, markets and the welfare state. Yet some of the most important questions remain unanswered: Do private health insurance schemes create better outcomes? How should pension systems account for differences in life expectancy? And where does value accrue when more private capital flows into health and welfare services?
Join Professor Torben Heien Nielsen and Associate Professor Frederik Plesner Lyngse from the University of Copenhagen for a research-driven discussion on the economics behind health, insurance and pensions. Drawing on large-scale Danish register data, economic theory and applied statistics, they will present concrete examples of how researchers study individual behaviour, savings decisions, health outcomes and inequality across populations.
This event is part of the UCPH Fintech Futures Programme, the University of Copenhagen’s platform for connecting researchers, innovators, students, startups and industry partners around the future of finance and technology. The programme forms the foundation for the University’s activities during Nordic Fintech Week.

AI is now where people buy, and increasingly where software buys on their behalf. Most businesses still have no way to get paid there, and no way to let their agents pay. That was the conversation at Stockholm Fintech Week in March, and at the first two /pay™ nights in April and May. Developers, founders, product people, all asking the same thing: how do I put my business inside any AI ecosystem, and how does money move once I’m there?
We’re bringing /pay™ to Copenhagen for Nordic Fintech Week on Day 0.
Join us for one afternoon in three parts.
1. A short talk on how payments work when the buyer is a person, an assistant, or an agent.
We will cover how to pay and get paid across any AI ecosystem:
2. A hands-on workshop where you turn your API or your MCP server into a tool inside Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, and get paid every time it’s used.
3. Then the lounge is ours until early evening: food, drinks, and a room full of people building the same thing from different angles.
No experience with agentic payments required. If you have an API, a product with a chat in it, or an agent that needs to spend, this afternoon shows you how money moves inside AI. Want to leave with something monetisable? Bring your laptop.
Hosted by SolvaPay, the payment platform for AI.
Agenda
13:00 Doors open, coffee
13:30 Talk: pay and get paid by people and agents
13:45 Q&A
14:00 Workshop: get paid inside AI apps (laptop needed, live in under an hour)
15:15 Mingle: food, drinks, demos at the bar

See you, and let’s kick off Nordic Fintech Week 2026 in style! 🥂
Exclusive networking dinner during Nordic Fintech Week in partnership with Dr Leda Glyptis and Finscan.
This invitation-only dinner will bring together a carefully selected group of senior banking and financial services leaders for an evening of great food, thoughtful conversation and meaningful connections.
With the pace of the conference, it’s often these smaller, more intimate gatherings where the best conversations happen. Our aim is simply to bring together people who are shaping the future of banking, away from the main stage and meeting rooms, to exchange ideas and build new relationships.
This event is strictly by invitation only, if you sign up for the event, it is only upon confirmation from the organizer that you can attend.
Sit down and meet the international fintech founders you could be friends with. The week brings together startups from across Europe and beyond, and this is your chance to actually sit down with some of them. Over 40 startups are partnering and exhibiting with us at Nordic Fintech Week this year – some you will catch on stage, others through the side events they’re hosting, and plenty right on the exhibition floor. We think the best way to connect with them while they’re here is over a shared meal. So we’ve put together the Startup Founders Lunch. Seating is limited to 40, and pre-registration is required.
PS: if you’re not a startup but a bank, an investor, or an ecosystem builder looking to grow your network of founders, you are welcome to join us too.
What to expect
Come with an agenda. Be it scouting for partnerships, meeting like-minded founders, getting advice on who to invest in, or figuring out who else to connect with at Nordic Fintech Week. Either way, we promise it will be one of the easiest hours at Nordic Fintech Week to build a real connection.

From Physical Climate Shock to Financial Shock: How could physical climate risk impact bank profits, capital, and markets? How to adapt?
Floods, wildfires, heatwaves and other physical climate risks are becoming financial risks for banks and investors. The impact can travel from damaged businesses and falling property values to higher credit losses, lower profits and greater capital needs. But banks can also play a critical role in helping customers prepare, adapt and invest in resilience, through financing, advice and risk solutions. As investors and markets increasingly price these risks, the question is not only how climate risk affects banks, but how banks can help shape the response while protecting their own balance sheets and capital.

Fimento brings fintechs, banks & industry leaders together for an informal dinner and candid conversations on what’s next in fintech.
Some of the best conversations in fintech don’t happen on stage, they happen around a table.
During Nordic Fintech Week, Fimento is bringing together a mix of fintechs, banks, data providers, and industry organizations for a relaxed sharing-style dinner at Cofoco. No panels, no pitches, just good food and a candid, dynamic and sharp conversation with the people shaping the industry.
Around the table we’ll dig into what matters most in fintech right now, what’s about to matter in the months ahead, and where the industry is heading in the long run; the trends, the friction points, and the opportunities everyone is circling but few are saying out loud.
Seats are limited. Register your interest
We look forward to a good evening of food and conversation.
Hosted by Fimento – bringing clarity to complexity in financial decision making.
Location: Restaurant Cofoco
Start Day 2 of Nordic Fintech Week with a 5.5K social run through beautiful Copenhagen, complete with coffee, croissants & connections!
Join us for a light 5.5K social run through scenic Copenhagen, hosted by Copenhagen Fintech and Nordic Fintech Week. This is your chance to experience the city like a local, before the conference buzz kicks in. Whether you’re an early riser or just want to move before sitting through sessions, this run is all about community, well-being, and casual connection.
We’ll end back at Kongens Nytorv, just in time for coffee, croissants, and light breakfast snacks ☕🥐. It’s not a race but a moment to breathe, connect, and see Copenhagen in a way most visitors never do. Just bring yourself, some running shoes, and a light spirit.
Location: Outside The Royal Danish Theatre, Kongens Nytorv
Route Highlights:
Along the way, we’ll pass by some of Copenhagen’s most iconic sights:
An exclusive morning session at the site of QuNorth’s Magne, built to give fintech leaders and others an early view of next-generation quant
This Magne is an intimate morning side event for fintech leaders, data specialists, investors and innovation teams who want an early look at how next-generation quantum computing may shape financial services. Hosted at the site of Magne, QuNorth’s upcoming Level 2 quantum computer, the session offers a practical introduction to what makes Magne different: logical qubits, real-time error correction, all-to-all connectivity and a full-stack environment co-engineered with Microsoft Azure to reduce the distance between algorithm design, experimentation and deployment.
For financial services, the value is not only access to more computational power, but the ability to explore new ways of working with complex data. Magne can become a testbed for problems where today’s methods are constrained by scale, uncertainty or combinatorial complexity — for example portfolio optimisation, risk modelling, fraud pattern discovery, scenario simulation, capital allocation, liquidity forecasting and privacy-preserving analytics. While many use cases will still be exploratory, the opportunity is to begin building the data foundations, talent and partnerships needed to move from quantum awareness to quantum readiness.
The visit is designed for a small group of prospective academic and commercial users with a foundational understanding of quantum computing and a curiosity for applied experimentation. Participants will hear how Magne is being built, what access may look like, which types of datasets and algorithms are likely to be relevant, and how Nordic fintech companies can start identifying meaningful pilots before the system becomes fully operational.
If you would like to know more about Magne, you can also meet Cathal Mahon at the Nordic Fintech Center Booth No. 41 at NFW September 24th between 13.00 and 14.30.
You’ll meet:
