Four leading payments startup accelerators/ incubators will bring 16 innovative, disruptive payments and fintech startups to NextGen Park on the show floor at TRANSACT, the world’s largest payments technology event, April 17-19 in Las Vegas, the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) announced today.
The accelerators/ incubators that have been selected from around the country include:
- Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), Atlanta, GA
- Clark Atlanta University Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurial Development with Comcast NBCUniversal’s The Farm, Atlanta, GA
- Queen City Fintech, Charlotte, NC
- Village Capital, Washington DC
Select startups from each accelerator/incubator will highlight the out-of-the-box thinking and creativity that is driving the next generation of payments innovation. TRANSACT attendees will be able to interface directly with these incubators and startups on the show floor.
“Startups have the power to significantly change and disrupt industries by bringing new and innovative products to market. Nowhere is this truer than in the payments industry,” said ETA CEO Jason Oxman. “Many of the titans of today were the startups of yesterday. That’s why we are focused on bringing leading incubators and their startups to center of the show floor at TRANSACT, where payments industry executives from industry leaders meet to chart a path towards the future.”
NextGen Park will include space for the incubators and their startups to host meetings, showcase their products and network with payments technology companies on the TRANSACT show floor. Leaders from the five incubators will also participate in a roundtable discussion on the morning of April 18 from the Trustwave Keynote Stage. The panel discussion will explore new developments within the payments industry and present unique perspectives and focus on fintech start-ups and the ecosystem at large.
TRANSACT, April 17-19, 2018, will bring together all parts of the payments ecosystem – from ISOs/VARs to ISVs and large financial institutions to technology companies, to meet, see what’s new, and learn what it takes to grow. Through extensive networking events, education and a robust exhibit hall filled with more than 200 companies, attendees will learn about groundbreaking technology, security trends and policies affecting the industry.
