The New York and London Fintech Canadian Technology Accelerator Program helps Canadian fintech companies prepare for growth in two of the world’s leading financial technology markets, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The focus areas, objectives, priorities, and themes of the program are to support fintech companies with market guidance, mentorship, business development support, and networking opportunities to test, validate, and scale their solutions in the U.S. and U.K. markets, while focusing on areas including payments and lending, RegTech and compliance, InsurTech, WealthTech, data solutions for financial institutions and services, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) solutions with a strong core value proposition for the financial sector.
Through the hybrid program, selected companies gain access to scale-up workshops designed to build knowledge and support U.S. and U.K. market expansion plans.
Participants can connect with key organisations and leaders in the financial services ecosystem through high-level events and receive guidance on entering international markets.
The program provides lead mentorship opportunities, allowing companies to build relationships with experienced business leaders and receive advice tailored to their goals.
Companies can also grow their professional networks through networking events, curated introductions, and direct engagement with financial ecosystem partners.
Selected participants become part of the Global CTA network, joining a community of Canadian Technology Accelerator participants and alumni for ongoing support and collaboration.
The program is designed for innovative Canadian business-to-business (B2B) fintech companies with solutions across financial technology sectors.
Applicants must have a fully built and validated product with differentiated technology, recurring revenue and/or at least $1 million raised, a strong and committed management team able to participate for the full program, and clear goals, objectives, and a strategy for entering the U.S. and U.K. markets.
