    "The aim was to find the most important 40 people based in the region who display influence or innovation in the emerging financial technology ecosystem. They had to be operating in, or have potential to impact, European capital markets and Financial News’ institutional readership.

    The longlist of more than 100 people ranged from visionary entrepreneurs, to savvy investors, community organisers or technology buyers at the world’s largest financial institutions.

    The names were then assessed on their technological innovation in European capital markets and achievements to date; their potential to shape and influence their sector; the assets or resources at their disposal; and their broader contribution to improving efficiency."

    All decisions were made by the Financial News editors and reporters based on nominations from the FinTech community.
