About the session

JWG has been championing RegTech since 2011. The sector is growing up quickly as standards mature and collaborative pathways are proven. There are real, concrete examples of ‘what good looks like’ which sets a pathway for private utilities, application vendors and the standards community to have tools ready for firms to comply with the next round of reforms. What have we learnt from RegTech successes and how will they help chart the course?
