The new facility will help build Synechron’s offering in Europe as the company expands across the region, particularly focused on Digital services, as massive digital transformation initiatives have become a top priority for a number of banks, as well as implementing emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The office will also support Synechron’s Systems Integration Centers of Excellence (COE) in Paris.

This new office and FinLab will support Synechron’s ongoing strategy to develop innovative technology to help the financial services sector.”

The new FinLab in Paris will allow clients to have direct interaction with the latest technology and prototypes in the market: from chatbots and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), to Natural Language Processing (NLP) and gamification models. This opening marks the 11^thFinLab operating globally, with the others located in New York, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Amsterdam, London, Dubai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune and most recently in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Faisal Husain, Co-founder and CEO of Synechron, said: “The use and mastering of emerging technologies is a key factor in delivering clients solutions to remain competitive in today’s markets, which are increasingly being taken over by digital services. The demand for true technological innovation is higher than ever, and as Paris becomes one of the EU’s top hubs for FinTech, our new office in Paris will not only bring our extensive expertise to ambitious businesses in this region but will also highlight the vital role that Fintech will play for businesses in the region.”
