China Meets Financial Technology


The FinTech Lab will explore collaborative research applications of open source software tools that will increase the industry's financial literacy by broadening public access to experiment with the technologies transforming financial services, insurance and real estate. Open source data analytics, artificial intelligence and blockchain software development form the core competitive strength of our lab. Collaborators will use these tools to develop smart contracts, smart markets and algorithmic trading strategies, and then study their potential to positively impact the provision of financial services to businesses and consumers.

We aim to provide increased financial literacy for students and professionals through the industry leading freely available, open source analytics engine and tools. The FinTech lab provides an applied, experiential environment in which students, faculty and corporate partners can experiment with the technologies transforming financial services, insurance and real estate.
