Smart Data Foundry

Smart Data Foundry is an independent collaboration between governments and regulators, the financial services, industry and academia. Its mission is to tackle the big issues by applying world-class research and data-led innovation to improve peoples' lives across the economy, society and to the benefit of the environment.

To support this ground-breaking work, EPCC is developing and hosting the Financial Data Safe Haven, the underlying data and computing facility that will host a rich variety of financial data, including the transactional data of individuals and organisations. The facility will allow subsets of data to be linked and made available within a strict framework to a variety of actors, including academic researchers, policy makers, regulators, financial institutions, and companies that use technology to improve the delivery of financial services (fintechs).
