iMBrace Named Finalist in FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific 2025
iMBrace is proud to be named a finalist in Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific 2025 , a milestone underscoring our mission to bring Trusted Enterprise AI to Asia-Pacific financial services.
For the Financial Services Industry (FSI), where compliance, trust, and agility define competitiveness, this recognition highlights iMBrace’s growing role in helping enterprises adopt AI responsibly.
The FinTech Innovation Lab: A Launchpad for Transformation
Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific, co-founded with Cyberport Hong Kong, is one of the region’s leading accelerators. Each year, a select group of fintechs is chosen from many applicants to showcase solutions for the financial industry.
This milestone is rooted in Hong Kong’s role as a global FinTech hub, home to 1,100+ companies and ranked among the world’s top 10 centres for financial innovation (FintechHK).
For iMBrace, joining the 2025 cohort is more than recognition; it provides the chance to validate our Enterprise AI model in one of the world’s most highly regulated environments.
The Pressures on Financial Services in Asia-Pacific
The region’s fintech market reached USD 57.8B in 2024 and is projected to grow at more than 21% CAGR through 2031 (Cognitive Market Research). But this growth comes with rising pressures and the 2025 Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab themes capture them well:
- Green FinTech and Sustainable Finance → Stricter compliance, ESG disclosure, and data residency rules mean institutions need Enterprise AI that is auditable and transparent by design.
- Risk Management, Cybersecurity, and Quantum Innovation → Fraud tactics are advancing faster than legacy systems, creating demand for Enterprise AI-powered fraud detection, risk modeling, and cybersecurity.
- AI-Driven Personalization and Analytics → Customers expect seamless, tailored experiences, but banks must balance personalization with trust and transparency.
These are not just industry trends, they are systemic challenges that Asia-Pacific financial services must solve responsibly. And they demand Enterprise AI that is trusted, transparent, and built for regulated industries.
Redefining Enterprise AI for Financial Services
That’s why iMBrace has built Enterprise AI around three principles that directly answer today’s pressures:
- Agentic AI → Addressing Risk and Cybersecurity. Proactively drives workflows like fraud detection, compliance checks, and risk monitoring, always within enterprise guardrails.
- Sovereign AI → Enabling Sustainable Finance and Compliance. Prioritizes data sovereignty, security, and residency, ensuring banks meet stricter ESG reporting and regulatory standards with confidence.
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) → Supporting Personalization with Trust. Keeps people in control of critical decisions while AI provides speed, insights, and scale, which allows personalized customer journeys without sacrificing transparency.
The result is Enterprise AI that is contextual, compliant, and confident, a model Asia-Pacific financial services can safely embed into their core operations to meet the future of finance head-on.
