Market Predictions The term RegTech turned one year old a few weeks ago and in its short lifetime has already lived through a quick hype that I believe may be giving way to a touch of reality. In the second part of our blog series about the State of RegTech, I would like to attempt some predictions for the future of the RegTech market.

Emerging Categories Since the emergence of the term RegTech in mid 2015, we have been actively monitoring the market as well as shaping it as much as we can through our product Alyne and thought leadership in this space. In the following, I would like to share my observations by attempting a categorisation of some of the players and providing some predictions for the future of the market and giving some insights into our own strategy at Alyne for the next months and years in the following blog posts of this series.

There is a new buzzword rocking the financial services industry: RegTech.

One of the essential steps in starting any business is creating awareness for your brand. You can have the greatest product in the world, but if your target group doesn't know about it, you will never make a sale. For me, marketing is also not at all about this traditional advertising pushing, which many people associate with the topic. It starts much earlier in identifying promising market potential, shaping a product to fit this demand, and then telling people about it in the least annoying way possible.
