The hub will allow fintech founders and start-ups to test innovative ideas in the 100 day innovation sprint, allowing them to develop pilot projects as well as technologies and services that will change the way people interact with payments.

The digital hub contributes to Roland Berger’s strategy in defining and reshaping the way corporates do business in an emerging digital economy, across all business units and workflow methodologies.

Roland Berger Strategy Consultants CEO Charles-Edouard Bouée said: The hub is open to all industries from all countries, Europe in particular. Hub participants take the new knowledge back into their companies and use it to advance their digital transformation."

Roland Berger head of digital practice Björn Bloching said: "While most digital labs focus on creating technical and business model innovations, we go further: digital transformation affects the entire value chain as well as all functions and processes of a company, including cross-functions like human resources or finance, which are often neglected in digital initiatives."
