Finextra has launched the Innovation Showcase, a new feature on Finextra.com highlighting the most innovative financial technology developments over the past 12 months. Across a broad range of categories it showcases technologies that demonstrate uniqueness and impact, clever ways of solving a problem and projects at the leading edge of new industry trends.
As well as selecting our own highlights from Finextra's comprehensive editorial coverage of all things new in the financial industry, we also called on submissions from vendors, consultants and financial institutions to help us broaden our search for innovation.
Because innovation doesn't stand still, we plan to review the showcase every six months - with the next cut-off for entries in early July. But for now, here is Finextra's pick of industry innovators across nine broad categories:
Authentication and security
Collaboration and knowledge management
Energy efficiency and green IT
Financial markets trading
Financial messaging and connectivity
Payments
Retail channel delivery and management
Risk management
Wholesale channel delivery and management
If you're a member of the Finextra Community, feel free to blog about or comment on the Showcase itself or any of the individual entries.
