We have recognised that there is an opportunity to bring market participants together to work collaboratively on shared challenges to assess and solve important issues in financial services. 

TechSprints are typically two day events that bring together participants from across and outside of financial services to develop technology based ideas or proof of concepts to address specific industry challenges. These events help us to shine a light on issues and expand the discussion and awareness of potential solutions.

We will continue to use TechSprints as one of our regulatory tools to explore solutions to other challenges and act as a catalyst for change that helps to unlock the potential benefits of technology innovation.
