Celebrating Excellence at the TradingTech Insight Awards Europe 2026

Subscribe to our newsletter

The pace of change across trading technology shows no sign of slowing. As markets become more complex, data-intensive and performance-driven, firms are rethinking how infrastructure, analytics and execution workflows interconnect across the trading lifecycle.

Against this backdrop, the TradingTech Insight Awards Europe 2026 brought the industry together to recognise the solution providers delivering measurable impact across the European trading ecosystem.

Presented following A-Team Group’s TradingTech Summit London on 26th February, this year’s awards spanned more than 50 categories, reflecting the breadth of today’s trading stack. From Collateral Optimisation and Pre-Trade Risk Controls to Matching Engines, Trading Analytics and market connectivity infrastructure, the winners illustrate how modern performance depends on integrated, end-to-end design.

What stands out in 2026 is how the definition of performance is evolving. Speed remains critical, but resilience, transparency and the ability to operate across fragmented, multi-asset environments are increasingly decisive. As AI-driven workflows move into production and infrastructure modernisation accelerates, the demands placed on technology providers continue to rise.

“The TradingTech Insight Awards Europe recognise the vendors that are delivering tangible impact across the trading stack,” said Andrew Delaney, President and Chief Content Officer at A-Team Group. “This year’s winners reflect the continued strength and evolution of Europe’s trading technology sector.”

Editor’s Recognition Award

In addition to the category awards, TradingTech Insight presented the Editor’s Recognition Award for European Trading Technology Industry Professional of the Year to Kevin Covington, Chief Commercial Officer at Adaptive. The award recognises sustained leadership and meaningful contribution to the advancement of the trading technology ecosystem.

A Rigorous and Independent Process

The awards are based on detailed vendor nominations and voting by the TradingTech Insight community, with results reviewed by an independent Advisory Board to ensure fairness and industry relevance. The combination of practitioner input and expert oversight helps ensure that the winners reflect genuine market recognition.

A full list of winners is available in the TradingTech Insight Awards Europe 2026 Winners’ Report.
