Berlin is one of the world‘s leading FinTech hubs. The Berlin Finance Initiative (BFI) promotes the prosperity of both traditional and new financial market players in Berlin. The goal of the BFI is to create a finance and technology hub that is unique in Europe. It further works to increase the visibility of the hub’s strengths, opportunities and prospects. The initiative represents the diverse interests of Berlin’s finance and technology sectors, and acts as the voice of the hub to the wider world markets.
Why is diversity important?
A diverse pool of talents is the key driving force for prosperity, innovation and sustainability in Finance & Tech. We simply cannot be satisfied with female founders in the German startup ecosystem of just 16 percent – in FinTechs even less. With more female founders, managers and investors more innovative (financing) ideas come to our industry and products plus services are improved. In order to leverage the full potential of our ecosystem, we need to increase diversity.

Through our members, we at DLAI support a level playing field and equal opportunity for all.

Our results show that, in fintech, women are six times more likely to be heads of marketing than CEOs and nearly ten times more likely to be heads of HR. As a progressive industry, fintech is adopting the behaviours that have been prevalent for many years in traditional financial institutions.
It is time to redesign and reconstruct the roles of women in our industry. It is vital for women to build on their experience by taking on responsibility in financial management such as profit and loss, and to get involved in business development, sales, and C-level positions in order to excel. I personally want them to aim for roles that are pivotal in a company – if not CEO, then COO, CCO, CTO/CPO or a more empowered and commercially minded CMO.
By developing commercial skills women set themselves up for entrepreneurship and independence.
