Engine Innovator Programme

Take engagement to another level by applying for our annual programme

The Innovator Programme

Our Innovator Programme is for FinTechs that want to accelerate their immersion in the investment management industry.

Exclusively for Engine members, this annual programme selects FinTech firms to receive support and mentoring and put their technology solutions in front of the investment industry. 

To enable high-quality, one-to-one support, only a small cohort of firms are selected for each programme – but members can reapply as many times as they wish. 

Applications are now open for the Engine Innovator Programme!

Note: You must be an Engine member to apply for the Engine Innovator Programme. Click here to find out more about membership.

Engine by the IA is one of the best accelerators I have been a part of and experienced. The genuine community of asset managers is rare and breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend the Engine program to anyone who is serious about working within the investment community.

IA Engine has been instrumental in helping to accelerate Jacobi's growth and development with investment groups. As a member of the IAEngine 'Innovators' programme, it helped to open doors and provide a useful sounding board to navigate the industry and its approach to innovation.
Curtis Evans, Managing Director EMEA - Jacobi (cohort 4 member)
Engine opened doors and gave us access to firms we otherwise wouldn't have been able to meet, and helped us land three big pilots within 9 months.
Chandini Jain, CEO and Co-Founder - Auquan (cohort 4 member)
We were delighted to participate in the Innovator programme. During that time we received significant and material support and some really useful introductions to a number of our target clients. The ongoing support from both the Investment Association and the Advisory Panel members evidences what a proactive and forward-thinking body these parties represent.
Duncan Stevens, CEO - Gretel (cohort 5 member)
The IA Engine Program has been like rocket fuel for our early stage company! The entire community has gone out of their way to connect us with new clients, raise our industry profile, and anchor us into the wider City of London and UK Fintech strategy.
