Citi's Technology Innovation Lab was established after identifying the potential of merging Citi's well established position in the global financial markets with Israel's innovative, entrepreneurial and fast paced culture. The lab is supported by the Israeli Ministry of Finance and the Chief Scientist. The main objective of this newly founded unit is to understand and define new needs and opportunities in the financial arena and provide cutting edge tools for the financial markets. Currently, the lab focuses on mobile, security, risk engines, data intelligence (DI) and automatic trading. Those innovations are essential in maintaining Citi's dominant position as a global leader in the ever evolving and changing financial markets and provide Citi leverage in a modern and technology oriented environment.
In 2013, Citi expanded its activities within the local community to include an accelerator program for Israeli startups specializing in financial technologies (Fintech). The program is geared towards understanding the needs of global financial institutions and the financial industries market. The program is open to companies at any stage and in all fields of Fintech. The Accelerator further holds regular Meetups hosting financial and business leaders that are open to all.
