The lab is the brainchild of the Cedar Consulting and IBS Intelligence, and has played an active role in accelerating technology companies in areas of go-to-market, POCs with banks, knowledge, and many other strategic areas.
Not many know FinTech the way we do. The lab has mentored global technology companies of different shapes and sizes, each of whom have used membership benefits to learn, partner, and accelerate.

WHAT LAB MEMBERS SAY
Uncia
What set the Cedar 'building a future ready bank' conference apart is its clearminded focus. Focus on bringing together panels representing a cross section of achievers. Experienced bankers who have made bold bets on challenging the status quo, and repeatedly succeeded in delivering great value both to their customers and to their institutions, on one hand; and technology builders who have been ahead of their time in pushing their customers to make those bets and then partner with them in delivering results. Add to that, some pointed moderation, keeping proceedings on track, and what you got was great value for the time spent. Of course, the quality networking was a given. Thank you Cedar.
Hari Padmanabhan, Chairman

The lab team have arranged our meetings with senior management from banks and involved our consultants in insightful panel discussions. This has helped us in showcasing our product portfolio to banks, increasing our brand visibility and thought leadership. Our experience with them has been beneficial and I would highly recommend them.
