Innovators Pavilion showcases startup and early stage companies providing forward-thinking solutions for the futures, options and cleared swaps industry.

HPR’s Riskbot enables firms to tackle the numerous compliance challenges facing the industry today. Through Riskbot, firms can run compliance checks across multiple markets, detect potential cyberthreats, inspect trades in real-time and stop bad trades before they occur.
“Progress in our industry is being driven by forward-thinking companies like HPR,” said Rob Creamer, FIA board member and chairman of the FIA Principal Traders Group, who chaired the Innovators Pavilion selection committee. “Through Innovators Pavilion, FIA is forging networks between pioneering startups, a diverse community of market participants, and venture capitalists focused on FinTech.”
