The unique characteristics of the Israeli market create a <strong>fertile ground for innovation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are over <strong>500 FinTech ventures<\/strong> in Israel, only <strong>10% of them are providing services<\/strong> in Israel. Being a country in the Middle East with<strong> only 8.7 million people<\/strong>, Israel based ventures look globally and aim to solve issues in foreign countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Israeli government<\/strong> promotes innovation to its core, as innovation is Israel\u2019s <strong>most valuable export<\/strong>, dedication to research and development is unparalleled. It is by far the world leader in <strong>R&amp;D with 20% of the nation&#8217;s GDP<\/strong> devoted to this field. It is also the <strong>world\u2019s most VC funded society<\/strong>, with <strong>more funds per capita<\/strong> than any other nation.<\/p>\n<h3>Overview Of The\u00a0Polish FinTech market<\/h3>\n<p>More <strong>European countries<\/strong> are demonstrating <strong>FinTech Innovation<\/strong> using modern technologies to <strong>interact with the end customer<\/strong>, and <strong>supply wide variety of financial services<\/strong> adapted to the market demand.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a closer look at CEE countries, <strong>Polish FinTech market<\/strong> presents immense potential with a <strong>market estimated in 900 million Euro<\/strong>. The Polish market is defined with urban and rural areas that demand <strong>high technological awareness<\/strong>, which leads to heightened expectations.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at the <strong>banking system in Poland<\/strong>, nearly <strong>80% of the market is dominated by private banks<\/strong>; additionally, there is a governmental support for <strong>local ownership of the banking sector<\/strong> with help of acquisitions of foreign-owned banks by state-owned banks. The <strong>5 leading banks in Poland<\/strong> holds more than <strong>50% of the market share<\/strong> and are in constant <strong>search for innovative solutions<\/strong> promoting better financial services to their clients.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>banked Population is reaching 78%<\/strong>, which translate to <strong>8.3 million polish residents<\/strong> that are <strong>unbanked<\/strong> or <strong>underbanked<\/strong>. Poland has a large rural area, which represents <strong>40% of the Polish landscape<\/strong>. Combined, these unique characteristics are <strong>hidden opportunities for FinTech<\/strong> innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaboration Between\u00a0Israeli And The Polish FinTech Ecosystem<\/h3>\n<p>Poland can <strong>benefit from highly developed Israeli FinTech<\/strong> solutions that operate and have experience in <strong>other global ecosystems<\/strong>. Taking in consideration the conditions in the <strong>Polish market Israeli ventures<\/strong> have much to offer.<\/p>\n<p>As <strong>cybersecurity plays a significant role in Israel<\/strong>, many companies are dealing with this FinTech complementary vertical as <strong>authentication<\/strong> or <strong>anti-fraud<\/strong>. Additionally, there are innovative customer engagement solutions and onboarding processes that can <strong>mitigate the gap of the underbanked<\/strong> and <strong>unbanked to financial services<\/strong>. Automation systems to conduct <strong>KYC processes<\/strong> and providing remote <strong>underwriting services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Growing relationships between the <strong>Israeli and the Polish FinTech ecosystem<\/strong> will no doubt benefit both counterparties.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equitech.co.il\">Equitech<\/a> is proud to lead the Israeli FinTech Innovation delegation to Poland.
