With passion, purpose, and a vision for the future, these trailblazers are now actively engaged in developing their Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects. This marks a pivotal phase in their innovation lifecycle—where ideas begin to take shape, and theoretical concepts are translated into tangible solutions.​​

Each team is diving deep into research, design, and experimentation, leveraging the resources and mentorship provided by the Bank of Mauritius Innovation Hub. The PoC stage is not just about building prototypes; it’s about validating ideas, solving real-world challenges, and demonstrating the potential impact of their innovations.

As they progress, these innovators are not only shaping the future of finance in Mauritius but also contributing to a broader culture of innovation that will inspire generations to come. Our main themes currently being explored by the participants include:

• Suptech & Regtech
• Next-generation: Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs)
• Open Banking
• Cyber Security
• Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
• Financial Literacy
• Green Finance
