The PLEXUS Advancement Award for Artificial Intelligence

The transformation of finance through AI and machine learning is in full swing. The PLEXUS Award for Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector has been awarded annually by PLEXUS Investments since 2020. The Award is endowed with 10,000 Euros, which will benefit the winners’ further research on AI and machine learning in the financial sector. The award is open to students and doctoral candidates. We are proud to support new developments with the award.

The award ceremonies have so far taken place at the annual AI- Conference “Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector” organised by PLEXUS. More than 200 participants from the international asset management community attended each event.

The deadline for submitting research papers for the forth award (since 2020) ended in December 2023. In the meantime, the top-class panel of judges is active again. In the coming weeks, they will evaluate the submitted master’s theses and dissertations and select the winner(s). The winner(s) will be awarded in May at the third AI-Conference “Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector” organised by PLEXUS.
