The Innovation Advisory Group (IAG) provides a regular forum for the FinTech and RegTech sector and the FCA to discuss issues and opportunities to inform our innovation work. Find out more about the group’s work.
The IAG was set up in 2023. In its first year, it is covering a broad set of topics, including:
- the use of synthetic data in financial services
- alternative approaches to future TechSprints

The IAG primarily supports the FCA’s innovation work. In addition, the group can discuss wider topics which contribute to the FCA’s strategic commitment to promote competition and positive change.
