FCA announces launch of Supercharged Sandbox

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced the launch of its Supercharged Sandbox, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, as part of its AI Lab and in line with the FCA's strategy to foster economic growth. This upgraded sandbox builds on the FCA's existing digital sandbox structure, offering firms access to NVIDIA's accelerated computing and AI enterprise software. This sandbox complements the FCA's AI Live Testing service, which alternately assists those that are further along in development and ready for implementation. By enhancing technical resources, data access and regulatory support, the sandbox aims to foster responsible AI innovation without introducing new regulations, relying instead on existing frameworks. Applications for the Supercharged Sandbox have opened and will close on 11 August. The programme will run for three months, from 30 September to 9 January 2026. Full details, including eligibility criteria and application guidance, are included in the official participation pack.
