It is our privilege to celebrate the outstanding achievements of this year’s winners at the 2nd annual AI in Capital Markets Awards. Established to highlight technology providers making a measurable impact, these awards honour the artificial intelligence and machine learning innovations transforming global financial markets.
AI has firmly transitioned from a promising concept into an indispensable strategic imperative across capital markets. The 2026 award recipients showcase this momentum first hand, exemplifying how sophisticated AI applications – from agentic platforms and automated risk management to advanced data governance and trade intelligence – are successfully tackling the financial sector’s toughest operational demands.
This year’s winning solutions span a dynamic spectrum of key categories, encompassing Data Management, Trading & Market Analytics, Regulatory Compliance & RegTech, and Infrastructure & Governance. By driving accuracy, accelerating workflows, and strengthening risk frameworks, these technologies are setting a new standard for modern financial institutions.
We are also delighted to announce that Nirav Shah, Senior Executive Director & Global Head of Fundamental Research Technology, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, has been named as the recipient of A-Team Group’s Editor’s Recognition Award for AI Professional of the Year.
We extend our sincere gratitude to every organisation that participated. Given the exceptionally high calibre and technical sophistication of this year’s submissions, evaluating the entries was a rewarding yet demanding task for our editorial team and independent Advisory Board.
