Applications Open for the JPMorganChase Fintech Forward Programme

Applications are now open for the JPMorganChase Fintech Forward Programme, a new 12 week in-person and virtual accelerator designed to help fintech leaders realise their business vision.

Backed by JPMorganChase’s extensive network, the programme offers tailored support to help scale high-potential fintech companies across the UK.

Selected fintech leaders will gain access to a suite of resources designed to drive sustainable business growth. These include:

• Executive sponsorship for a senior JPMorganChase leader
• Mentorship from an experienced advisory team
• A customised programme focused on strengthening a founder’s network and impact
• Opportunities to present to JPMorganChase stakeholders, external investors and partners
• A sponsored trip to Slush, one of Europe’s leading startup events, held in Helsinki

To reduce barriers to participation, travel, accommodation and other reasonable costs for in-person events will be covered by JPMorganChase if required.

The programme begins with two days at JPMorganChase’s Glasgow Technology Centre on 10th and 11th September 2025 with full-day in-person sessions in London every two weeks.  Virtual sessions every other week for between 3-4 hours per week. The trip to Slush 2025 takes place between 18th November and 21st November 2025.
