Unchain Fintech Festival was created to bring together the global public and private sectors to advance the topic of fintech and blockchain in Central Eastern Europe and globally. Unchain is supporting the future of finance by connecting companies and people, trends and challenges.

Join the who’s who list in finance, fintech, blockchain and innovation and be part of the conversations that will help shape tomorrow’s finance world.

The two days of the festival will cover the most important trends in fintech and blockchain, being an in-person meeting place for 500+ innovative financial institutions, regulators, technology companies, VCs and startups, with 3 main event areas:

UNCHAIN TRENDS – conferences and workshops stage on “hot topics” of the field with keynote speakers from important players, regulators and opinion leaders;

UNCHAIN IDEAS – pitching stage and booth area with top fintech startups in the region;

UNCHAIN CONNECTIONS – 1to1 meetings and networking area with set-up for matchmaking to facilitate direct interactions between companies, startups and investors to build relations.

For two days this summer Oradea, the heart of Central and Eastern Europe, will become ground zero for innovation in financial services. Taking place in the city’s old and picturesque citadel, the event will put fintech and blockchain on the map of CEE. Starting with 2022, Oradea will become the fintech fortress in the month of July, every year going forward.

Slight chance you would have thought of Oradea as the city capital of fintech & blockchain innovation in Central and Eastern Europe. And it may come quite as a surprise that we have chosen to set our camp there.

📌 But here are just 5 reasons why, at Oradea, we will put the pin on the international map of fintech innovation:

1. It’s literally in the heart of the CEE region – right in the middle of the map, at the crossroads between east and west, with reachable driving distance from all regional capitals and accessible by plane through an international airport. When you plan your routes consider we will have connecting shuttles from all major surrounding cities.

2. Oradea has a vibrant tech economy and a rising startup scene, with big names of the industry like TypingDNA, the soon to be unicorn providing user authentication technology through typing biometrics. Many more tech innovation companies originate in the city or are in the making with the support of local innovation hubs, economic ecosystem and public support.

3. The picturesque Oradea Citadel will be taken by siege and transformed for two days into the regional hub for fintech & blockchain innovation. This historical city will literally become a fintech fortress. 🏰 for the new lords and knights of finance to meet and set out their battle plans.

4. You have to break the routine in order to disconnect & (re)connect into new business ventures. And where else to do that then in a place where everybody speaks the language of fintech? Two of the city’s top hotels are exclusively reserved for Unchain attendees, so you will be able to extend the discussions from morning till dawn.

5. Also known as Großwardein, Oradea is at its roots an old picturesque Austro-Hungarian town, steeped in history and culture. Aside from the beautiful old citadel you can enjoy spas & thermal baths in extended family weekends, or even party till’ dawn at music festivals with our exclusive Electric Castle discounts.

✈️ And be honest… when was the last time you travelled somewhere totally new?! It may not be far, but it’s definitely worth the trip!

✈️ BY PLANE
Oradea has an international airport with regular flights from Bucharest and direct connections to Central Europe and the UK. You can also travel by plane to neighboring cities like Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Debrecen or Budapest. Our team will assist you with transfers and airport shuttles directly to the hotel.

🚗 BY CAR
