Six start-ups took part in the Accenture FinTech Innovation Lab showcase in Dublin at the beginning of April, each of which offered its pitch as to how it plans to disrupt the fintech sector.

Six young businesses took part in the Fintech Innovation Lab, covering a wide range of fintech areas that aim to disrupt what we consider as the traditional banking sector, including blockchain, AI, financial wellbeing, and service virtualisation.

One of the key takeaways for the companies was getting their first taste of media exposure to sell the ideas of their prospective companies and, judging by their conversations with Siliconrepublic.com, that side of things appeared to go without a hitch.
