InTick Selected for the Investment Association’s IA Engine Cohort 2025
We are delighted to announce that InTick has been selected to join The Investment Association IA Engine Innovator Programme for 2025. IA Engine is an accelerator programme that connects best-in-class FinTech innovators with forward-looking investment managers who are looking to embrace and implement innovation across their business.
Chosen from a large field of applicants via a rigorous panel selection process, InTick joins a select cohort of firms that are accelerating transformation across trading and operations in investment management. During a twelve-month programme cohort members receive support and mentoring from the Engine Advisory Panel, a group of experts from across the investment management industry, as well as opportunities to showcase solutions at industry events.
James Goater, Founder and CEO of InTick, said: “We are delighted to be part of the IA Engine cohort for 2025. We look forward to engaging with all market participants to showcase how InTick is fully transforming the dynamics of futures block trading!”
Ben Parker, Co-Founder and COO of InTick, added: “We are thrilled to have been selected for the 2025 IA Engine Innovator Programme. As a platform applying innovation to the ongoing industry quest for improved price discovery and streamlined execution in listed derivatives, InTick offers new trading opportunities to market participants from across the investment community.”
Sarah Timms, Co-Founder and CPO, concluded: “We are incredibly excited to be part of the Investment Association’s Fintech Accelerator this year. With InTick technology offering a fully automated alternative to the traditionally manual and complex processes of futures block trading, being part of the IA Engine is a great opportunity to share enhanced execution and efficiency benefits with a community that is seeking tangible change.”
The IA Engine 2025 cohort was announced at EmTech Global on the 25th of March 2025. The full press release is available here.
Gillian Painter, Director of Engine at the Investment Association, commented: “Innovation is at the heart of our industry’s growth mission. Keeping pace with the latest technological advances is key to ensuring that the UK is able to deliver for customers and clients and continues to be a global hub for investment management.
Engine’s latest Innovator and Advanced Access Programme cohorts highlight the extensive value new technologies can bring to the investment management industry – whether that’s harnessing AI to drive operational efficiencies, automating data management to enhance regulatory compliance or broadening access to alternative asset classes. I look forward to working with these firms to accelerate their growth journey and develop innovative industry solutions.”
