US-based fintech firm FIS partnered with Fulham
Football Club, the English football club, to create an innovation hub. The
newly launched “Markers, presented by the FIS” center at Fulham Pier, aims
to combine technology, community, and business innovation.

The center will reportedly transform Fulham Pier into
a hub for fintech innovation, attracting top business leaders while serving as
a catalyst for community growth.

Innovation and Collaboration

Fulham Pier, part of Fulham FC’s riverside
redevelopment, is a bustling “town center” for business leaders,
where industry events, panel discussions, and innovation workshops drive growth
across the financial sector.

The Premier League football club now targets business
collaboration, with FIS taking the reins to power the innovation space. The
partnership will also support FIS’ ongoing FinTech Accelerator Program, with
Fulham Pier serving as the next strategic point for fintech incubation in the
EMEA region.

The Markers, presented by the FIS’ suite will host an
array of events and activities, including FIS’ signature InnovateIN48
competition, designed to push the boundaries of fintech development. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment where
technology, sports, and community engagement come together to benefit the wider
financial ecosystem.

FIS Commitment to Community

The center will also be available to business leaders
across London, offering a space to collaborate and exchange ideas. With its
riverside setting, it hopes to create a dynamic business environment with easy
access to cultural and recreational amenities.

Additionally, the fintech giant has pledged a £25,000
donation to the Fulham FC Foundation. This donation aims to equip over 100
local youths with qualifications that will help them access better employment,
training, and education opportunities.
