Presentation title

Buy, build, partner: Fueling Europe’s checkout revolution

Presentation description

Europe’s e-commerce doesn’t need another one-size-fits-all platform, it needs solutions built for its own diverse markets. Kamjar Hajabdolahi, CEO of Kustom, will share how a buy-build-partner strategy creates a long-term growth engine at checkout. By acquiring Klarna Checkout, building a new high-performing platform, and partnering with Stripe and leading merchants, Kustom is fueling the European checkout revolution with the European-fit model the market has been waiting for. With SEK 150 billion in annual volume and profitability from day one, Kustom shows how fragmentation can become a moat, and why checkout is the most undervalued growth driver for long-term investors. Expect a bold view on how open, merchant-first ecosystems will shape the future of commerce.
