According to InvestSuite, Copenhagen was a natural next stop to grow business and focus on research in product design and user experience.
“Scandinavia is a rapidly growing hub for start-up activity, and Copenhagen Fintech has become a key player on the European fintech scene. Denmark is an almost cashless society and the people are very familiar with digital solutions. Also, Copenhagen has many highly-skilled talents and there is a lot of research into mobile user behaviour – so all in all, Copenhagen is a very interesting place for us to be right now” - Bart Vanhaeren, CEO/Co
