StrategyBridgeAI wins double at FinTraWorld 2026: Best solution in corporate banking and overall winner

FinTraWorld 2026 in Cologne is done, and we came home with two awards.

On 28-29 January at the Motorworld in Cologne, StrategyBridgeAI was named Best Solution in Corporate Banking and Best Solution Overall. The overall prize came as the LBBW Prize, handed over by Dominik Schütz, Head of Innovation Lab at LBBW.

What happened

FinTraWorld brings together banks, fintechs, and corporate banking decision-makers to talk about one thing: how data and AI are actually changing financial decisions in practice. The people in the room are practitioners. Winning here means something.

Why this matters

Corporate analysis is getting harder. Business models are more complex, industry benchmarks less reliable, and in corporate banking, close enough is not good enough. Wrong data or AI hallucinations do not just look bad, they lead to expensive decisions.

Over the past four years, we have built StrategyBridgeAI around three things: precise benchmark data, analysis you can actually explain to a client or credit committee, and outputs that are ready to act on.

Today the platform is used by banks, M&A advisors, auditors, strategy consultants, and investors across more than 150 clients in Europe.

What comes next

We keep building. This award is a strong signal from the practitioner community that the problem we are solving is real, and that our approach is working.

Our co-founder Louis Flach also wrote about why credit decisions in 2026 need a new quality of decision support, and where conventional analysis hits its limits. Read the full piece on BankingNews.
