About Cedar-IBSi FinTech LabFounded in 2018, Cedar-IBSi FinTech lab has been home to 52+ global technology companies who need a “soft-landing” opportunity into MENA and India. The lab is the brainchild of the Cedar-IBSi group, consisting of Forbes-listed global strategy consulting firm Cedar Consulting, and the world’s only pure-play Financial Technology research, advisory, and media firm IBS Intelligence.
Not many know FinTech the way we do. Since 2018, the Cedar-IBSi lab has been home to global technology companies of different shapes and sizes, each of whom have used membership benefits to learn, partner, and accelerate.

TESTIMONIALSCedar-IBSi pop-up labs
IntroducingOur strongest competitive advantage as a lab platform lies in our history and experience across the region over 30+ years. Over the years, Cedar-IBSi’s teams have advised Asia’s leading banks, BankTechs, and FinTechs as they navigate through the evolution of technologies.
Our ability to truly help lab members and portfolio companies enter new markets, and guide them through the process, is therefore unparalleled. Our pop-up FinTech labs that will soon launch across Asia will be the ultimate market-access channel for FinTech companies looking to penetrate new markets and engage with the regional ecosystem!
In Phase 1, we are thrilled to launch our pop-up labs across the UAE, Bahrain, KSA, and Oman. That’s not all – we have even bigger plans for Phase 2, with our pop-up labs set to expand to Singapore and the UK.
All of this access comes by being a member of our lab community!
Our recently launched Moonshot accelerator program focuses on supporting BankTech founders with growth across workstreams, leveraging our 100+ in-house FinTech experts and global experience. Cohort graduates will also be eligible for funding from Cedar-IBSi Capital’s (SEBI AIF) fund.
