The partnership aims to enhance knowledge-sharing among industry players.

Finance Innovation is a nationally recognised cluster supported by Innovation Norway and focuses on uniting finance and technology stakeholders across the country. The collaboration is expected to strengthen the national role of Finance Innovation as a hub for customer-led transformation, while also advancing the reputation of the financial sector as a dynamic and attractive career destination for tech professionals.

Tietoevry Banking acting managing director Mario Blazevic said, “We want to contribute to strengthening Finance Innovation’s role as a leading national arena for customer-driven innovation and transformation, helping the financial sector enhance its competitiveness and reputation as an attractive workplace for anyone passionate about technology.”

Finance Innovation CEO Rea Parashar welcomed the partnership, highlighting the strategic value that Tietoevry brings to the cluster. Rea Parashar said, “Tietoevry Banking is a valuable addition to the cluster ecosystem at Finance Innovation. With its broad expertise, extensive experience, and international network, this collaboration can unlock significant benefits for both society and the business community which aligns perfectly with our mission as an industry cluster.”

Tietoevry Banking employs around 3,400 FinTech experts globally, with 1,500 based in Norway across key cities including Bergen, Trondheim, Mo i Rana and Oslo. The company plays a central role in accelerating digital innovation in the region and sees this new partnership as a means to both contribute and learn.

Blazevic said, “The pace of digital innovation and transformation in Norway must increase, and the financial sector is a key catalyst in this effort. With our strong presence both in Norway and internationally, we at Tietoevry Banking are committed to sharing our expertise and experience to help Finance Innovation strengthen its national role, says Mario Blazevic, adding that the partnership will also be an important learning platform for employees.

“Those of us working in technology can never claim to be fully trained. We must continuously evolve, stay on top of trends, and find ways to convert them into lasting value for customers and society. The collaboration with Finance Innovation will be crucial for strengthening our regional presence
