This year marks the 12th edition of Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab London – a world-renowned, 12-week programme that is all about helping early stage FinTechs accelerate their product-market fit and business development.
We can’t wait to take our cohort through our carefully designed in-depth innovation, partnership and scaling programme, coupled with engagements with over 35 Accenture clients, and a panel of industry leading mentors.
2024’s cohort saw our most testing selection process yet, with total applicant numbers reaching over 300, and a final cohort acceptance rate of 4.6%! Our interviewees represented a global FinTech world, with applicants from 15 different countries around the world, and over 50% with founders from diverse backgrounds. Each of these FinTechs were scored an average of 22 times by our experienced partners and mentors to give us the data required to select one of our strongest cohorts to date, aligned to our partner’s priority areas.
We are confident that the solutions these FinTechs bring to the table will actively shape the market and redefine financial experiences in the years ahead. We are honoured to be able to attract so many talented, motivated and brave founders into our programme.
