French FinTech Weeks 2025: a milestone for financial innovation

France FinTech, the ACPR and the AMF unveil the programme for French FinTech Weeks, which will run from 1 to 17 October 2025.

Since 2020, French FinTech Weeks have aimed to highlight the richness and diversity of the French fintech ecosystem, by mobilising public and private players committed to the development of digital finance in France and in Europe.

🎯 Objectives & stakes

This event is an opportunity to discuss the major themes that structure financial innovation today:

• Regulation & supervision: understanding how the authorities adapt to new digital uses, while guaranteeing stability, security and user protection.
• Emerging technologies: blockchain, decentralised finance (DeFi), on-chain finance, insurtech solutions...
• Sovereignty & resilience: strengthening the digital autonomy of French and European players in the face of global competitors.
• Corporate financing & inclusion: what new models can give SMEs and innovative projects access to capital?
• Regional-national link: spreading fintech initiatives beyond Paris, and consolidating the ecosystem across France.

📅 Highlights & location

The 2025 programme stretches over two weeks and unfolds in Paris, in the regions, in universities or in innovation clusters. Here are a few of the headline gatherings:
