• Fourth edition builds on last year’s momentum, advancing partnerships across financial services and technology.
• Bringing together 40+ speakers, international delegations, and the inaugural Tech Talent Hub, the event demonstrates the scale of industry participation behind Fintech Forward 2026.

MANAMA, Bahrain, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fintech Forward 2026 (FF26), the Gulf region’s flagship financial forum, wrapped up today at Exhibition World Bahrain with more than 60 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), strategic agreements, and key announcements unveiled, securing over 2900 local and international participants. Marking the fourth edition, the forum welcomed its largest number of sponsors and exhibitors to date, underscoring the strength of industry engagement and a shared ambition to shape the next chapter of financial services.

The 65% increase in announcements and signings at FF26 highlights the Forum’s growing role as a catalyst for tangible economic outcomes. Several of this year’s announcements and MoUs build on connections forged at FF25, demonstrating how Bahrain’s agile financial ecosystem converts dialogue and access to decisionmakers into sustained momentum. This is the Team Bahrain approach in action, harnessing public-private partnership to drive innovation, strengthen the ecosystem and unlock new pathways for growth.

Among the developments announced at FF26 was a Google Cloud Universal Ledger pilot showcased by BBK. The project is being delivered in collaboration with ARRAY Innovation, a portfolio company of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund. It explores the use of advanced digital ledger technology within BBK’s core banking operations, with potential applications in tokenized payments and programmable settlement.

Beyon and barq Group’s (Technologies Union) also announced an agreement which brought together Beyon Money’s operations with barq’s fintech platform, with Beyon set to retain economic interest in barq, subject to final documentation and regulatory approvals.

FF26 also saw BENEFIT announce the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) as the first participating bank and anchor banking partner in the Trade Finance Registry pilot. Developed in collaboration with Singapore-based trade finance fraud prevention specialist MonetaGo and Bahrain FinTech Bay (BFB), the pilot aims to reduce risk across trade finance. Bahrain FinTech Bay also launched its fourth Fintech Ecosystem Report (2024–2026), charting Bahrain’s progression to regulated execution and highlighting opportunities in AI, tokenisation, and cross-border payments. FF26 also marked the announcement of the third edition of the NBB Innovation Programme in partnership with BFB, continuing its presence at Fintech Forward for a second consecutive year. 

Further announcements included Beyon Connect’s plans to launch an AML Referral Programme, with AMAN Compliance Solutions joining as its first referral partner, helping organisations access specialised financial crime prevention and compliance expertise, alongside an MoU between Beyon Connect and BENEFIT to explore joint fintech opportunities locally and internationally, combining their complementary capabilities across digital identity, payments, credit and information services, as well as data analytics. BENEFIT and Huawei also signed an MoU to explore cooperation in digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, reflecting the growing intersection between financial services and emerging technology.

Additionally, Kuwait Finance House – Bahrain announced an MoU with stc Bahrain to expand their existing partnership, exploring new areas of collaboration across digital solutions and integrated use cases, while further advancing digital capabilities in cash management, reconciliation, and trade finance.

The exhibition also debuted the Tech Talent Hub, featuring Citi, J.P. Morgan and KPMG and highlighting the role of Bahraini talent in supporting global clients and operations from the Kingdom, alongside the skills and career pathways shaping the future of financial services and technology. Bahrain’s highly skilled, future-proofed and diverse talent base continues to be a defining strength of the Kingdom’s economy, underpinned by strong workforce participation.

Bahrain has built a well-established financial services ecosystem over decades, supported by progressive regulation, advanced digital infrastructure, and a commitment to innovation. Financial and insurance activities remain the largest contributor to the Kingdom’s economy, accounting for 17.6% of real GDP in 2025, with the sector continuing to play a central role in driving economic growth and attracting investment. The sector is supported by a forward-looking regulatory environment led by the Central Bank of Bahrain, alongside a skilled workforce, and strong digital infrastructure.

Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) and programmed by Forbes Middle East, FF26 was supported by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), the Labour Fund (Tamkeen), the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA), and Bahrain FinTech Bay (BFB) and was held under the theme “Finance in the Age of Intelligent Infrastructure.”

Equilend and Cboe Clear Europe Agree to Connect CCP Clearing Infrastructure for Securities Lending

Agreement enables Equilend clients to access Cboe Clear Europe’s clearing service for securities lending through existing infrastructure.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Equilend today announced an agreement with Cboe Clear Europe to connect Equilend’s trading and post-trade infrastructure to Cboe Clear Europe’s securities lending service, enabling clients to access central clearing without building or maintaining direct CCP connectivity. The integration will span Equilend’s NGT trading platform and its post-trade suite, covering the full lifecycle of a cleared securities lending trade.

Equilend clients will be able to submit trades for clearing at the point of execution via NGT, or through a post-trade workflow, across European and U.S. equities, fixed income, and ETFs for more than 20 global CSDs. Trades can be submitted independently, at trade agreement or via Post trade, through their preferred channel, and Cboe Clear Europe’s matching engine reconciles both legs.

The solution allows a client to choose Equilend as a provider without consideration for counterparty. The connectivity can also fit into the platforms clients already use, including Equilend’s Spire and 1Source, leveraging existing operational processes and platforms and providing clients direct access without costly technology implementations.

Cboe Clear Europe introduced a first-of-its-kind central clearing service for securities financing transactions in 2025, initially covering European equities and ETFs and delivering significant capital, operational and risk management benefits. Following strong adoption across the securities lending ecosystem, the service has since expanded to include European and U.S. fixed income products this year, and this week announced the launch of U.S. equities, with additional asset classes planned as part of future rollouts. CCP-cleared transactions may also carry more favorable capital treatment, a growing consideration for participants on both sides of a securities lending trade.

“The securities lending market has been moving toward clearing for some time, and the practical question for most participants has been how to get there without rebuilding their operational stack,” said Rich Grossi, CEO of Equilend. “This agreement with Cboe Clear Europe gives our clients a straightforward answer, clearing access through infrastructure they already have, with the flexibility to manage it at the point of trade or post-execution.”

“We’ve seen strong adoption from firms across the securities lending ecosystem for Cboe Clear Europe’s central clearing offering,” said Jan Treuren, Head of Product at Cboe Clear Europe. “Building on that momentum, we’re keen to drive further adoption through this agreement with Equilend, which will help to bring access to central clearing directly into the workflow where the market already operates.”

Helfie Signs MOU with Homa Bay Kenya Ministry of Health for TB and Hypertension Screening Pilot

Population-scale pilot will target 100,000 of Homa Bay’s most vulnerable people across five sub-counties.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Helfie AI (“Helfie”), an AI-powered preventive network transforming global healthcare, today announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kenya’s Homa Bay County Ministry of Health to pilot a population-scale health screening and monitoring program.

The pilot will target 100,000 of the county’s most vulnerable people across five sub-counties of Homa Bay, supporting early screening and monitoring for tuberculosis (TB) and hypertension. The program will run entirely on the user’s mobile device and reflects almost nine months of on-the-ground planning and collaboration between Helfie, Homa Bay’s Ministry of Health and the county’s population health team.

Rania Awad, Chief Strategy Officer, Helfie AI, said: “This MOU marks the start of a preventive health pilot with the County Government of Homa Bay, focused on the early detection of tuberculosis and hypertension using Helfie. It is a concrete step towards a future where screening reaches every household, and where the intelligence to detect disease early resides in people’s own hands rather than behind a clinic an hour’s drive away.”

Hon. Grace Mercy Osewe, Homa Bay County, said: “Innovation sits at the core of what we do and how we are continuously thinking about delivering impactful health programs at scale. Helfie will help us determine how we can reach patients where they are and help connect them to the next steps in care promptly and efficiently.”

George Tomeski, CEO, Helfie AI, said: “When we say all eight billion humans, we mean the fisherman who never reaches a clinic and the household a health worker visits once a month, not just the people already well served. Homa Bay is where that commitment becomes real. Bringing early detection and proactive prevention to this community takes us a meaningful step closer to a world where optimised wellbeing is available to everyone, everywhere.”

ABOUT HELFIE AI

Helfie is a global health platform for early detection, proactive prevention and optimised wellbeing for all humans. Science-backed and AI-powered, it delivers 30+ easy, instant and affordable health checks via smartphone, working with governments and businesses to make preventive health accessible to everyone.

SOPHiA GENETICS and Myriad Genetics Announce New Collaboration to Advance Prostate Genomic Instability Score Technology

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SOPHiA GENETICS (NASDAQ: SOPH) and Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN) today announce a collaboration to advance new prostate cancer-specific genomic instability score (PrGIS) technology to support precision oncology approaches with AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/NYSE: AZN). PrGIS is a novel biomarker signature designed to assess chromosomal instability associated with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in prostate cancer patients. The collaboration aims to advance PrGIS in clinical trials and expand access to precision oncology medicines through potential companion diagnostic solutions.

Myriad developed PrGIS to support HRD as an actionable biomarker in prostate cancer, where HRD is emerging as an important prognostic and predictive biomarker. The proprietary MyChoice® CDx test which is currently available as a companion diagnostic in ovarian cancer, will produce the PrGIS score and is being advanced for prostate cancer as a new indication.

“This collaboration showcases Myriad’s biopharma capabilities to support development of precision oncology treatments,” said Lou Welebob, Senior Vice President, Companion Diagnostics, Myriad Genetics. “PrGIS is designed to provide biopharma partners with a platform that may support patient stratification in clinical trials and help accelerate companion diagnostic development for precision oncology therapies.”

As part of the collaboration, SOPHiA GENETICS is developing its solid tumor application for Extended Homologous Recombination Solution into a decentralized companion diagnostic solution. The solution will incorporate Myriad’s PrGIS technology and aim to expand patient access to PrGIS in global markets. SOPHiA GENETICS’ technology-agnostic, cloud-based platform offers local laboratory testing across a global network of more than 1,000 connected institutions in over 75 countries.

“Precision medicine has a geographic problem because breakthrough therapies developed in major markets often remain inaccessible to patients in the rest of the world,” said Jess Lambe, VP & Managing Director of BioPharma Business Development, SOPHiA GENETICS. “By pairing Myriad’s world-class biomarker innovation with SOPHiA GENETICS’ global network, we are working toward a solution for this. Together, we’re building a new model for companion diagnostic deployment that could help innovative therapies reach the right patients locally, expanding access to care where it matters the most.”

Upcoming ESMO data to highlight PrGIS as a novel biomarker in prostate cancer

Myriad also plans to present PrGIS research, co-authored with AstraZeneca, at the upcoming European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026. The research is expected to further characterize the biomarker and support its validation. Full data will be available following the ESMO embargo period.
