FinTech (Financial Technology) means "technology-enabled financial innovation." There is a strong need to improve the competitiveness of European FinTech, creating a common risk management framework that can make financial innovations sustainable.
The Fin-Tech project, under the EU's Horizon2020 funding scheme, aims to create a European FinTech risk management platform, which can eventually lead to a European research sandbox. To this end, it will develop a knowledge exchange hub that will produce use-cases in fintech risk management.
The knowledge exchange hub includes a research framework, in which partners develop fintech risk management use-cases, guided by international regulators; a SupTech framework, in which the uses cases wilil receive feedback from the national supervisors; a RegTech framework, in which the use cases will receive feedback from fintech companies; and a validation framework, in which the uses cases will be evaluated by banks and international advisors.
The project has started on January, 1st 2019, and will last until December 31st 2020. The activities of the project include 6 research workshop with international regulators, 3*28 suptech workshops, for 28 national supervisors, and 6 regtech workshops, organized by 6 fintech hubs and open to regulators, banks and fintechs around Europe.
