If you missed the UNCHAIN CEE Fintech Tour – Czechia event, you can catch the full recording below.
Czechia stands out as a market where fintech is not a buzzword but the default. Traditional banks and startups alike operate as digital-first companies, with a shared tech-savvy mindset driving fast product development and elevated customer expectations.
The local fintech ecosystem is thriving—over 200 startups operate efficiently and often profitably, many choosing to bootstrap and stay under the radar. Prague’s appeal as a startup hub is growing, thanks to its quality of life, talent pool, and access to EU markets.
What sets Czechia apart is its unique ability to foster meaningful collaboration between banks and startups. Rather than competing, they often co-create—when internal cultures allow it. Expansion into other Central and Eastern European markets reveals stark differences in openness and ecosystem maturity, highlighting the importance of local context.
Finally, AI is seen not as a novelty but a competitive lever. Czech founders recognize that while everyone has access to similar tools, the edge lies in execution—using AI to scale faster and smarter.
