Decode the Market. Build the Future.Capture the Alpha.
The infrastructure behind modern systematic alpha
Our TechX stage explores how leading hedge funds and asset managers are building the technology, data, and research infrastructure that powers systematic investing and ultimately determines how fast ideas become live trading strategies.
It focuses on how technology teams create competitive advantage by enabling faster research, better data access, and more efficient deployment of investment strategies in live markets.
How do you turn ideas into live alpha faster than everyone else?
What this stage covers.
Data, Signals & Alternative Datasets
How leading funds source, evaluate, and integrate new datasets and signal providers to expand research capability.
Research-to-Production Infrastructure
How firms move from idea → backtest → live trading in the shortest possible time while maintaining robustness.
Scalable Data & Compute Systems
How modern funds process, store, and operationalise massive volumes of structured and unstructured data.
AI & Machine Learning in Production
How AI/ML systems are deployed in live trading environments and integrated into systematic workflows.
Built for those who own the infrastructure.
