This company provides software solutions for financial service providers, which are already being used by banks such as HSBC and JP Morgan.

SwissQuant Group AG, another company based in Zurich, received two awards: one for ‘Most Innovative Use of Artificial Intelligence’ and one for ‘Most Innovative Wealth Management Client Solution’. The spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) develops intelligent technology products for the finance industry.

Two banks from Liechtenstein also received awards: Liechtensteinische Landesbank and LGT. Liechtensteinische Landesbank was also honored for its services to asset management in Oman and Bahrain.

LGT won in three categories. It received awards for its environment, social and governance (ESG) offering and its family governance consultation services in addition to an award in the ‘Pure Play Private Bank’ category.
