START Summit 2025: An Event Shaping the Future of Finance
Under the theme "Europe’s Next Wave," the START Summit is once again bringing together over 7,000 founders, investors, and next-generation talent in St. Gallen this year. But in 2025, the organization is making an especially bold statement: START Global is the first European startup organization to advertise on one of the world’s most iconic billboards – Times Square in New York.
A European startup event shining on the massive LED screens of Times Square—is this just a clever PR stunt, or proof that Europe is increasingly becoming a global startup powerhouse? While the spotlight has traditionally been on Silicon Valley, a new wave of startup momentum is emerging in Europe. But can the continent truly compete with the world’s major tech hubs?
Crypto & Fintech at the Heart of START Summit 2025
The crypto industry is proving that innovation is no longer exclusive to the U.S. With a dedicated Crypto & Fintech track, the START Summit is positioning itself as a key platform for the next generation of blockchain enterprises and digital financial solutions.
For three days in March, St. Gallen will become a hotspot for discussions on the future of finance – and CryptoTicker readers get exclusive access : Use the discount code "CryptoTicker30" to get 30% off tickets!
Crypto & Fintech in Focus at START Summit 2025
One of the key topics at this year's START Summit is the future of finance – with crypto at the center.
- Cyrus Fazel (Swissborg) will explore how digital assets and DeFi can democratize wealth.
- Emma Sinclair (Enterprise Alumni) will discuss how Fintech and crypto are challenging traditional banking.
- Miriam Wohlfarth (Banxware) & Alexander Emeshev (Vivid) will tackle the growing tension between crypto innovation and government control—a crucial issue as regulations tighten worldwide.
Switzerland: A Rising Crypto Hub?
With the Crypto Valley Initiative in Zug, Switzerland has long been a global leader in blockchain and digital assets. Companies like Sygnum Bank—the world’s first regulated digital asset bank—prove that Switzerland is more than just a financial safe haven; it is a catalyst for innovation in digital finance.
This momentum has not gone unnoticed by international investors. Top VCs like Sequoia, Index, Accel, Benchmark, and Northzone will be attending START Summit 2025, sending a strong signal that crypto, fintech, and digital assets are no longer just hype, but a key part of the financial future.
