As in previous editions, we are still looking for the most disruptive Fintech startups with BBVA Open Talent Global Trends. But this year we also want to appeal to all the ecosystem through our thematic verticals, particularly those startups working in the fields of Identity, Artificial Intelligence and Fintech for Companies.”
