Berlin, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2021 -- FinTech has not grown as quickly in Germany as many other locations. However, there are signs that the financial market in Germany is now really getting behind this vibrant and innovative sector. One recent study by Comdirekt Bank found that the German market is now made up of more than 900 FinTech companies - within this the most represented industries are real estate and the financing sector. Blockchain is another area where there has been a significant increase in activity with 100% growth in blockchain FinTechs in Germany since 2017. This interest in FinTech in Germany is something that venture capital has backed robustly - around 40% of total venture capital investment in recent years was given to start-ups from the financial sector. So, the market for FinTech in Germany is growing - and also evolving. Collaborations are increasing in number too, between FinTechs and established banks as well as other businesses in media, insurance and asset management. With investors such as AllianzX, Finleap and EarlyBird Venture Capital ready to pour capital in this sector, the future for FinTech in Germany looks bright.
