Duck Creek Technologies announced today that it has joined the Madrid Fintech (MAD Fintech) Cluster, as one of more than 100 founder companies of this initiative which has worked in its 14 Commissions and 5 Working Groups since day one.
The Cluster’s goal is to convert Madrid into a world fintech capital by gathering the most innovative companies in the financial and insurance/insurtech industries - as well as other associations and both public and private institutions - to boost and develop the ecosystem in Madrid and throughout Spain.
The Madrid Fintech Cluster (MAD Fintech) is dedicated to reinventing the financial services sector of the future in all its functional areas, including methods of payment, banking services, insurtech, savings, and investment; the group aims to accomplish this goal by generating spaces for ideas, debate, co-creation, training, talent stimulation, and open innovation. To this end, it acts as a laboratory of ideas for the progress of financial services and insurtech, taking advantage of the opportunities generated by the technological revolution and innovation accelerating across the industry.
The companies behind the Fintech Cluster are leading the development of a fintech/insurtech ecosystem in Spain by promoting a culture of collaboration, open innovation, and the generation of synergies between current and future organizations that the initiative can attract to the Madrid area, contributing to the generation and retention of top talent. Interconnected with the European and broader global ecosystem of large digital and financial capitals, the Cluster aims to bring Madrid to the forefront of innovation in this rapidly evolving technology market.
“MAD FinTech seeks to boost the FinTech sector in Madrid and from Madrid, in Spain and from Spain to the world through open innovation, training, networking and co-creation,” said Salvador Molina, president of the Madrid Capital FinTech cluster (MAD FinTech). “It’s a pleasure to be able to collaborate with a leader in the insurance industry like Duck Creek.
