On 22 September 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a new webpage – Smart Data Accelerator.

The webpage explains that the Accelerator is for:

  • Innovative firms with use cases to test.
  • Organisations interested in collaboration through sprints and wider engagements.
  • Policymakers, academics, and technologists shaping the future of smart data.

The webpage goes on to set out Accelerator features and the Open Finance Sprint.
