TechSprints bring together participants from across and outside of financial services to address industry challenges.
We have a unique convening power to shape the direction of innovation, both in technology and where wider issues persist in the market.
TechSprints are a key element of our innovation toolkit that help us achieve this. The programme uses 2 formats to drive technological innovation and agile policy development:
- TechSprints: develop technology-based ideas and proof of concepts to deal with specific industry problems.
- PolicySprints: explore and discuss policy to inform our regulatory approaches.
Both formats help us shed a light on key issues and foster discussion, innovation, and awareness of potential solutions.
Since 2016, we’ve hosted a number of TechSprints. You can read more about each of them, including the problems explored and the solutions developed.
Evolution of TechSprints
We published research in 2020 exploring the lessons we've learned from hosting 7 TechSprints across a range of subjects.
As part of our commitment to foster innovative and collaborative global financial markets, we want to share our experience, and support other organisations in their efforts to address key industry problems.
