Innovation at Fidelity consists of the Fidelity Labs and Emerging Technology teams, who conduct research and horizon scanning across customer needs, business themes and emerging technologies, in order to incubate the most value-adding and impactful ideas for our customers and for the organisation.

We achieve this through meaningful ecosystem partnerships as well as our core offerings of validation and prototyping and by cultivating a growth mindset in our employees.

With guidance from senior leaders at FIL who form the Innovation Council, we aim to bring great ideas to life and convert promise into reality. These may be ideas that have been raised to us, or ones we have generated ourselves through research into emerging themes and trends. In addition, we focus on leading technology research to identify emerging trends, creating ecosystems for internal and extemal incubation of the research themes, partnering with Eight Roads Ventures, Fidelity International Strategic Ventures (FISV), FMR, fintech’s as well as investigating other potential strategic partnerships with the aim of achieving practical and commercial outcomes for FIL.
