Application Incubation

The Cambridge SupTech Lab accelerates the digital transformation of financial supervision, with a focus on building resilient, inclusive, and accountable financial sectors.

Unique accelerator for suptech applications.

Building on the success of the RegTech for Regulators Accelerator (R2A), the Lab’s Application Incubation programme is a suptech accelerator for financial authorities and technology vendors to co-create and deploy cutting-edge, scalable suptech prototypes and applications. To facilitate and de-risk this collaboration, our team helps detail the technical specifications, designs and implements agile procurement of the vendors, and provides project management support and hands-on technical assistance including security testing.
Through the Application Incubation competitions, vendors are awarded the funds to develop and test working prototype solutions in partnership with the agencies. Scroll down to see requests for proposals for current projects.

Incubated solutions

Our solutions are designed to accelerate growth, elevate customer experiences, and seamlessly align with strategic goals. Through a blend of consulting, user experience, and creative innovation, each solution in our portfolio has been crafted to drive impactful, sustainable change. We focus on delivering results that matter—solutions that scale, evolve, and create lasting value in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
