Nordic Fintech Week

In 2025, Kaunt AI won the AI category at the Nordic Fintech Awards 🏆 Kaunt AI is the embedded AI layer for procurement and finance platforms, adding document, posting, and transaction intelligence via API. The infrastructure that makes finance platforms smarter, without them having to build it themselves. When Mads and Frank built Kaunt, they didn't just build a product, they are defining a category. Embedded AI for finance platforms, distributed globally. That clarity of positioning is part of what earned them the recognition, and it's what's driven their growth since: from 8 to 15 customers, 1 to 5 use cases, across 3 regions. The Nordic fintech ecosystem punches above its weight globally, and Kaunt AI is a strong example of why. The Nordic Fintech Awards recognizes game-changing startups and spotlights them to a global ecosystem of partners, customers, and investors, opening doors that might otherwise have taken years to unlock.

🔙 One Nordic week, many fintech opinions, zero boring coffee breaks Nordic Fintech Week 2024 had a very specific feeling. You walked into TAP1 for one session on AI, and somehow ended up in conversations about digital assets, regulation, green finance, infrastructure and what the next decade of finance might actually look like. It was busy. It was sharp. And just uncertain enough to make it interesting. Founders, banks, regulators, investors and ecosystem people were not just sitting through panels. They were comparing notes, asking better questions, and trying to make sense of a market that was getting more complex by the minute. Looking back, that might be what made 2024 stand out. Not that everyone had the answers, but that the room was ready for the questions. Were you there in 2024? 👇 Or when did you first join Nordic Fintech Week? Drop your memory in the comments 🚀

Combined with his background in sales and customer engagement, he brings a rare mix of technical vision and real‑world market insight, a Product Manager who builds with customers, not from behind a desk.
