Auditstage takes third place at Nexus Luxembourg

Last week, Auditstage was present at Nexus Luxembourg, one of Europe's largest AI and technology summits. Over two days, the event brought together more than 10,000 attendees, 150 speakers and 250 startups from over 50 countries, uniting tech leaders, financial institutions, policymakers, founders and investors. For a company rethinking the future of audit, it was exactly the right room to be in.

A podium finish in Disruptive Finance

We are proud to share that Auditstage earned third place in the Disruptive Finance category, after competing against more than 250 startups over the course of the summit. It is a recognition that places Auditstage among Europe's most promising fintech innovators, and it confirms that the way we think about audit resonates well beyond our home market.

The result is also a reflection of a broader ecosystem working together. A heartfelt thank you goes to Fanny Deprelle for inviting promising startups to be nominated for the Startups and Scaleups Awards, and to Smartfin for putting Auditstage forward. This kind of collaboration is what helps innovative companies gain visibility on an international stage, and we do not take it for granted.

From vision to scale, on stage

Beyond the pitch, our CEO, Natalia Khamraeva, took part in the panel "From Vision to Scale: Female Leaders Shaping FinTech, RegTech and AI." It was an opportunity to share a perspective that sits at the heart of Auditstage. Audit is one of the most demanding and least digitised corners of professional services, and it is ripe for a fundamental rethink.

Our view is straightforward. By rethinking how audits are performed through a connected, AI-powered platform, audit teams can spend less time on manual, fragmented work and more time on judgement, quality and the conversations that actually matter to clients. The future of the profession is not about replacing auditors, it is about giving them better tools and a single connected workflow.

Sharing that vision alongside other female founders shaping FinTech, RegTech and AI made the moment all the more meaningful. Representation on these stages matters, and we were glad to see Auditstage be part of that conversation.

Grateful for the support along the way

Moments like this do not happen in isolation. As a KBC Start it Accelerate alumnus, Auditstage has benefited from a community that backs founders and helps them show up at Europe's biggest tech stages. The encouragement from partners across the ecosystem, before, during and after Nexus, means a great deal to our team.

Nexus Luxembourg was a milestone, but it is one step in a longer journey. We are more motivated than ever to keep building, keep listening to the audit profession, and keep shaping a smarter, more connected way to work.
