Digital Transformation Innovation Institute

Finance and the economy

Digital transformation can overhaul financial technologies, currencies, and tax systems.

Digital transformation is a disruptor for the finance sector. We conduct research on digital transformation across a range of challenge areas, including:

  • financial technologies (fintech)
  • the behaviour of cryptocurrency markets
  • democratising access to Bitcoin
  • diversity in accounting and taxation form
  • a fairer tax system through digitisation.

Fintech

Organisations globally take advantage of simple, fast, and secure fintech solutions to drive their financial operations. Fintech has evolved quickly as an industry, changing financial operations, productivity, and even digital wellbeing in the finance industry.

We can support you with interdisciplinary research, and can connect you with academics, start-up companies, established industry, and governmental organisations. We are part of UKFin+, a £2.5M programme of EPSRC funding designed to link researchers with the financial services sector.
