From Berlin to Paris and Across Europe: How Regpit Is Taking the Next Step

Harmonized European Regulation as a Springboard for Regpit

Starting in 2027, anti-money laundering (AML) regulations in Europe will be harmonized. This marks a milestone for the EU financial market and a tremendous opportunity for us as a RegTech provider. But what does it actually mean for a German startup to expand into new European markets?

This was the central question at the ScaleUp Academy in Paris – an intensive exchange format organized by HoFT Berlin and WILCO, where Regpit participated as part of the German FinTech Cohort.

Compliance as a Growth Driver

Representing Regpit on site were Dr. Jacob Wende, Louisa Marie Lippold, and Ludovic Trendel, who brought our vision to the stage:

Compliance should not be a brake, but rather the engine for sustainable trust and a strong Europe.

The exchange with leading FinTech representatives, investors, and regulatory initiatives made one thing clear:

• Regulation can be a strategic advantage if proactively shaped
• Local partnerships are crucial to unlock new markets
• Transparent and efficient processes build trust – and trust scales

Paris Pitch Night and Conversations That Stick

The highlight of the intense week-long scale-up program: Pitch Night with a roundtable discussion on the topic: “What are the success factors for expanding a FinTech startup in Europe?” Followed by five strong pitches and intensive networking with key players from the French FinTech and RegTech scenes.

What remained was not just a wealth of new contacts, but above all a realization: Innovation rarely happens on stage – but often in the conversations that follow.

France: Market and Mindset

Beyond panels, pitches, and partner discussions, our goal was also to better understand the French market. Paris was more than just a backdrop – it was a lesson in European entrepreneurship. It became clear: culture and economy are more closely intertwined here than in many other countries. Anyone aiming to enter this market must take its particularities seriously – not only from a regulatory standpoint, but also interpersonally.

Regpit – Ready for Europe

With a modular RegTech platform for KYC, sanctions, risk management, and more, Regpit provides exactly the kind of digital compliance solution that many European companies now need – especially in light of the upcoming EU AML regulation.

And we’ve learned:
To scale, you need not just a strong product, but a deep understanding of local markets and a team that’s ready to cross borders.

Merci, Paris. Onward.

We’re taking a lot away from this journey: new partners, new impulses, and the confirmation that Regpit is ready for the next step.
