4IRE Meetup in Sweden: DeFi Solutions for Nordic Traditional Finance

Thanks to all the attendees that joined us at WeWork on a rainy day Thursday, 28th of November. We are glad to take another 4IRE Meetup round at WeWork spacious lobby and were happy to see our loyal guests from the first gathering!

Sweden is one of the most profound leaders in the innovative FinTech industry and technology adoption, so no surprise we choose Stockholm for the series of meetups about DeFi and FinTech trends.

Many thanks to our local representatives Johan Lundin and Lucas Arrefelt for assisting along the way.
