UAtech Venture Night @ Toronto Tech Week – The Ultimate Startup & Investor Experience!

Hey Toronto, get ready for open pitch competitions, panels and networking happening alongside Tech Week! "Finnovation Day: Real-Time Payments, Real-Time Fraud. Can Risk Keep Up?" The next wave of fintech innovation is powered by real-time infrastructure and accelerated by AI. Payments are becoming instant, borders are dissolving, and new financial products are being launched faster than ever. But with this speed comes a new reality: fraud is evolving just as fast, and a little bit faster. AI is no longer just a tool for financial institutions. It’s being used on both sides: to optimize underwriting, detection, and customer experience and to simulate behavior, bypass controls, and scale fraud attacks This creates a new kind of challenge for the industry: - How do you enable real-time innovation without opening the door to real-time fraud? - How do you build guardrails that protect without slowing growth? At this Toronto Tech Week gathering, we bring together the people operating at that exact intersection. Expect builders, risk leaders, and fintech operators exploring what it really takes to keep up. What to expect: 🎤 Expert Panel Discussion A candid conversation with representatives from Canada’s leading financial institutions and fintechs on: the trade-offs between speed, security, and user experience how fraud is changing in the age of AI what actually works in modern risk infrastructure 🚀 Startup Showcase & Competition Founders building the next generation of fintech innovation, including fraud prevention, risk and compliance tools will present their solutions, get feedback from industry experts and compete for an award. !
