The Innovation Hub is open to enquiries from providers or potential providers of financial products or services that are innovative and sufficiently mature.
By innovative, we mean something based on new technology which:
- Does not already exist in the Irish market or has not been rolled out on a significant scale
or
- Materially changes the manner in which an existing product or service is constructed or delivered.
By mature, we mean that you can show an appropriate amount of thought in developing the idea. This does not mean that you need to be ready to go to market. If in doubt, you can contact us.
The Innovation Hub can provide you with information on:
- Relevant parts of the regulatory regime
- Specific supervision rules and policies
- Navigating the Irish supervisory and regulatory landscape.
The Innovation Hub is not able to provide:
- Guidance on business models or consulting services
- Waivers or no action letters
- Endorsements of specific firms or technologies
- A testing framework (i.e. sandbox facility)
- Assistance with commercial development
- Legal advice or statutory interpretations.
To help us process your enquiry, please include information about your business model, innovative technology used, and what you hope to get from engaging with the Innovation Hub.
