MassChallenge 2026 FinTech Challenge Program - Information Session #2

The 2026 MassChallenge FinTech Challenge Program accelerates outcomes-driven partnerships between startups and enterprises to fuel innovation across multiple different challenge areas including, managing data for a better customer experience, leveraging AI to enable effective and fast decision making, identifying tools and platforms that provide accessibility to financial planning & education, and much more!

Our partners' challenges have C-Suite support, passionate innovation champions and resources, and now they need YOU to help them tackle these issues. In turn, you'll benefit from their deep subject matter expertise and explore avenues that further validate your solution.

You will have the chance to collaborate with our Challenge Partners, leading financial institutions and industry organizations, throughout the FinTech Challenge Program.
