London Tops Fintech Hub Rankings
London overtook San Francisco and New York as the world’s leading fintech hub, driven by high demand for ML and data science expertise. G-Research is offering machine learning research internships focused on quantitative finance problems. This indicates a growing need for practical experience in a world-class environment.
London's ascent is fueled by a 37% increase in European FinTech funding between 2022 and 2025. This surge allowed Europe to reach funding parity with the U.S., both hitting 40 billion euros. The shift indicates a strong move towards London as a global financial innovation center. G-Research, located in Central London, offers 10-week summer internships in machine learning applied to quantitative finance. Interns tackle complex financial problems, utilizing extensive computing resources and working alongside experienced mentors. Top interns may be considered for full-time positions. The demand for ML expertise reflects a broader trend of fintech companies building infrastructure for digital assets and modern financial systems. London combines a deep financial sector, engineering talent, and pragmatic regulators, attracting influential fintech founders and platforms. This creates a thriving ecosystem for innovation and growth.
