Glasgow is a vibrant city where the FinTech sector is growing at an unprecedented rate. Many large financial firms have established their product development centres in Glasgow, including JP Morgan, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Virgin Money, Tesco Bank and many more. With a highly skilled population and a growing tech start up scene, the University of Strathclyde has prioritised the FinTech Cluster as part of our plans to develop the next phase of the University’s Technology & Innovation Zone located within the Glasgow City Innovation District.

Led by FinTech Scotland, in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde and the University of Glasgow, funding has been secured to continue the development of the Financial Regulation Innovation Lab, launched in April 2023. The Lab is a first for the UK and builds on the FinTech Scotland Fintech Research & Innovation Roadmap, highlighting the opportunity for more research and innovation in financial regulation. The initiative aligns with the UK Government Science and Technology Framework and brings together FinTech entrepreneurs, large UK and global financial services firms, technology enterprises, regulators, universities and third sector bodies to drive financial innovation in addressing regulation opportunities and challenges.

Responsibilities

  • Support the development of the Lab and collaborate with the University’s Industry Engagement and Innovation Directorate, the University’s FinTech Cluster Lead and Fintech Scotland’s Strategic Innovation Director.
  • Deliver the Innovation Call series, coordinating demand led challenges and subsequent awards to FinTech companies.
  • Drive key industry engagements and scale support to the FinTech ecosystem in Scotland.
  • Build and maintain effective networks, sector relationships, and multi party collaborations with stakeholders at C suite level.
