As in previous years, the 12 early-stage finalists will pitch and showcase their business ideas to Sibos delegates who will select this year's winner. A cash prize of USD 50,000 will be awarded to the winning early-stage finalist.

For the first time this year, the remaining eight growth-stage finalists will host individual exhibition booths on the Innotribe stand at Sibos and have the opportunity to give live product demos to Sibos delegates throughout the week. They will be joined by some Startup Challenge alumni: EssDOCS, AMP Credit Technologies and Matchmove.

Fabian Vandenreydt, Head of Markets Management, Innotribe and the Swift Institute at Swift says: "Since 2011, the Innotribe Startup Challenge has brought the Swift Community in direct contact with more than 650 FinTech startups from around the world. This programme not only supports community engagement, but also enables Swift and its member institutions to stay abreast of current innovation activity in today's fast changing landscape. Innotribe was one of the initial facilitators to help accelerate and spread the first wave of FinTech innovation across the industry, and we will continue to play an important role in this process."

The Innotribe Startup Finale is open to all Sibos participants and is sponsored by Deutsche Bank, HP, IBM, Invest NI, Level39, Luxembourg for Finance, and Wells Fargo.

During Sibos week, a four day programme will be run in the Innotribe stand (A20), located on the exhibition floor next to the Swift stand (A50) with dedicated sessions around Platforms, Society, Innovation Mind-shift, and Machine Intelligence.
