Startupbootcamp FinTech today announced that their FastTrack tour will be coming to Dublin, Ireland on May 19, 2016.  Focused on the region’s FinTech startups, the one-day event is open to innovative early-stage companies looking for expert advice and exposure.  Startups will have a chance to meet top VCs, FinTech experts and mentors as Steve Flinter from MasterCard Labs, Emmett Kilduff from Eagle Alpha, Stephen Moran from Bank of Ireland, as well as many more experts in FinTech Regulation and Payments.

Part of the global award-winning Startupbootcamp (SBC), SBC FinTech is a leading financial innovation accelerator dedicated to helping startups scale globally through direct access to an international network of mentors, partners and investors.
