Sybenetix, a London-based fintech company that provides behavioural analytics to hedge funds and banks, has been selected for Accenture’s 12-week Fintech Innovation Lab in Asia.
The programme aims to nurture new technologies for the financial services sector, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
Participating financial institutions, who made the selection of participants and will offer mentoring during the programme, include: Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and HSBC.
Sybenetix wants to extend their behavioural science and analytics into financial institutions in the region and explore Hong Kong as a potential regional base.
“The Asia Pacific investment industry enjoys a growing investor base and rapid development of new market opportunities”, said Taras Chaban, CEO of Sybenetix. “Our participation in the Lab is a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively with leading financial and regulatory institutions. It will enable us build on our initial work in the region to help improve investment performance and conduct management.”
