SuperTech reveals innovators selected for major cross-sector programme tackling fraud

Fifteen innovators join the Open Innovation Lab on Fighting Fraud to help industry explore and accelerate next-generation fraud prevention solutions. 

SuperTech has announced the innovators selected to join its new Open Innovation Lab focussed on Fighting Fraud, a cross-sector innovation programme bringing together financial services, legal firms, academia, regulators and technology innovators to address one of the UK's most pressing and rapidly evolving challenges. The Open Innovation Lab on Fighting Fraud is led by SuperTech in partnership with FinTech Scotland and provides a structured environment for testing emerging technologies against real-world industry challenges.  

With seven programme partners and fifteen participating innovators, the Lab is SuperTech's largest innovation programme of the year. It is designed to help organisations make more confident innovation decisions while enabling innovators to validate solutions, demonstrate market relevance and accelerate routes to adoption. 

Innovators joining the Open Innovation Lab on Fighting Fraud include Blackgrid Cyber, ClearPath AI, Entrusty by WeUno, EvorAI by Applied Behaviour Change,  FinKnow, Guardivion, Nuggets, Redpill Verify, Sopra Steria Financial Solutions, Smart Predict, TrustQlick by Sweden Resimplify, Truzy, Unwildered, Vouchsafe alongside Sherlock by Warwick University. 

Participants will work against six industry-defined use cases covering fraud detection, identity integrity, customer protection, fraud resilience and emerging AI-enabled threats. The challenges have been co-designed by programme contributors including BNP Paribas Personal Finance, Equifax UK, Tipton & Coseley Building Society, Advance Credit Union, Clockwise Credit Union, Fieldfisher, HCR Law and Aston University, ensuring innovators are addressing genuine operational priorities faced across the sector. 

The programme reflects SuperTech's commitment to creating practical pathways between emerging technology and industry adoption. By bringing together organisations that would not traditionally collaborate, the Lab helps reduce uncertainty around innovation, generate trusted evidence and strengthen decision-making around technologies that can improve fraud prevention outcomes. 

Hilary Smyth-Allen, CEO of SuperTech, said: 

"Fraud is evolving faster than any one organisation can tackle alone. The strength of this programme is its ability to bring together different sectors, perspectives and expertise to test solutions against real industry challenges. By combining innovators, established firms, regulators and academics in a structured environment, we're creating the conditions for better innovation decisions, faster adoption and stronger outcomes. This is exactly the role SuperTech plays: helping organisations reduce uncertainty, build confidence and identify solutions with the greatest potential to deliver real-world impact." 

The Open Innovation Lab: Fighting Fraud will culminate in a showcase event later this year where participants will present their findings and solutions to programme partners and ecosystem stakeholders, demonstrating how collaborative innovation can help strengthen fraud resilience across the UK economy.
