“Lighthouse MASSIV has provided Aion Sigma momentum to explore partnerships with Mastercard and others. The program encourages us to reach the micro businesses such as retailers in Africa that are not digital yet. We believe the program will in the future be the benchmark for how Nordic Fintech startups communicate their positive impact on the society and the planet.”

Mastercard is a great partner for us to work with and its Foundation’s activities will give us access to a terrific ecosystem of businesses supporting the communities we work with.”
