At Engine’s Emergent Tech Conference 2025, we heard tech and investment management thought leaders explore the latest advancements in AI, tokenisation, quantum computing and more.

Insightful keynotes, interactive panels, and a fast-paced agenda made it the most informative FinTech event of 2025!

Our profile has been raised across the industry immeasurably; we always reference our acceptance into the IA’s Engine when speaking with prospects and it’s always positively received.

The UK is a world leader in investment management, but to stay that way we’ve got to keep ahead of the curve. Engine is fantastic news for the asset management industry and to future entrepreneurs hoping to crack the market.
