The Cambridge SupTech Lab accelerates the digital transformation of financial supervision to foster resilient, transparent, accountable, sustainable, and inclusive financial sectors.
The Lab catalyses the integration of innovative technologies and data science into supervisory processes to meet both enduring and emerging challenges in the rapidly changing financial landscape. Through the Lab, financial authorities have championed the adoption of advanced suptech solutions to address pressing issues such as financial crime, fraud, exclusion, climate change enablers, consumer protection, and artificial intelligence biases.
Our global, multidisciplinary team has partnered with financial authorities’ executives, supervisors, and data scientists to craft solutions throughout the entire innovation lifecycle, from data governance to AI-powered strategies, from the drawing board to full-scale deployment and expansion of cutting-edge suptech applications.
The Lab is housed at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF), University of Cambridge Judge Business School, leveraging foundational intellectual property and know-how from the RegTech for Regulators Accelerator (R2A).
