B-Hive, Roland Berger launch Belgium FinTech dashboard

B-Hive has partnered with Roland Berger to launch a Belgium-based FinTech dashboard.

The program, B-Lens 2018, will support financial services and FinTechs with illustrating the attractiveness of the Belgium market, according to the company. It will also serve as a ‘yardstick of success against which B-Hive’s programs can further progress.’

The dashboard will support areas of the financial services market that is seeing a lot of innovation including KYC, blockchain, cybersecurity and digitalisation. B-Lens will use a selection of indicators and data to illustrate and monitor the development of the business environment, FinTech ecosystem and financial services industry.

B-Hive is a European collaborative platform for FinTech innovation, which connects banks, insurers and market infrastructure businesses. The Belgium-based company aims to support the development of startups while also boosting the country’s position in the FinTech space.

Currently, the company offers development programs for businesses developing solutions for cybersecurity, identity management, API setup and standardisation, digitisation, and the digital skills gap.

Fabian Vandenreydt, executive chairman of B-Hive, said: “B-Hive’s mission is to put the greater Brussels area on the map as a smart gateway into the European market, and this dashboard enables us to have a fuller view of key metrics, which will inform how we can further improve the position of Belgium in the market. We are eager to see how the key metrics progress in the future with Roland Berger.”

The company’s CyberHive is a platform that aims to increase the cybersecurity resilience of the financial services industry through joint learning, best practices and research, building a strong community of cyber security solution providers, and optional premium services that build bridges between the industry groups, the solution provider community and experts.

To tackle Identity Management, the company provides TrustHive, a multi-application platform based on distributed ledger technology. It empowers private individuals and legal entities to manage their digital identity with financial services providers – such as banks and insurance companies – in a privacy preserving manner.

It also provides OpenHive for API setup and Standardisation, DigiHive for digitisation, and TalentHive, which focuses on strengthening the talent pool in Europe.
