interop.io Wins “Best Integration Platform for Interoperability” at the TradingTech Insights Awards Europe 2026

We’re proud to announce that interop.io has won Best Integration Platform for Interoperability at the TradingTech Insights Awards Europe 2026.

Hosted by A-Team Group, the TradingTech Insights Awards recognize excellence in trading technology and infrastructure. The awards highlight vendors delivering exceptional solutions to capital markets firms across Europe.

Angela Wilbraham, CEO at A-Team Group commented:

“Our congratulations go to interop.io for their achievement in winning Best Integration Platform for Interoperability in a highly competitive contest.”

This recognition reflects how the interop.io platform has evolved as financial institutions rethink how their application environments should work together.

From Desktop Interoperability to Enterprise Platforms

When interop.io first entered the market (as desktop integration platforms Finsemble and Glue42), the industry challenge was clear: trading desks were surrounded by disconnected applications. Traders and portfolio managers constantly moved data between systems such as their OMS, EMS, research platforms, market data terminals, and internal tools.

interop.io introduced a new approach. Instead of replacing systems, organizations could connect them and allow workflows to operate across applications. Clients could build a complete solution where every technology acts as one.

Today that challenge has expanded beyond the desktop.

Financial institutions now operate across web applications, native desktop software, legacy systems, APIs, and increasingly AI-driven workflows. Platform teams must bring all of these elements together while preserving the systems users rely on. interop.io provides the foundation for that environment.

io.Connect enables organizations to coordinate applications across desktop, browser, and distributed environments so that they behave as one cohesive platform experience.

Building the Next Generation of Financial Platforms

Many firms today are building their own internal platforms by combining existing applications rather than replacing them.

interop.io enables this model by allowing applications to share context, trigger workflows, and interact with each other regardless of how they were built.

This approach allows firms to modernize their environments incrementally while continuing to use the systems their teams trust.

Several recent innovations across the interop.io platform support this evolution.

• io.Intelligence introduces AI copilots and agents that can understand user workflows and take action across enterprise applications.
• io.Insights captures real-time behavioral and workflow data so organizations can understand how their teams actually work and continuously optimize their platforms.
• io.Bridge enables interoperability across environments, allowing applications running on different machines, browsers, and desktops to participate in the same workflow.
• io.Manager provides centralized governance, deployment, and control so organizations can manage interoperability environments securely and at scale.

Together these capabilities allow firms to move beyond simple integrations and orchestrate a cohesive platform with workflows that span across systems, teams, and AI.

Advancing the Platform Builder Experience

This year also saw the release of io.Connect Desktop 10.0, a major step forward for the developers and platform teams responsible for implementing interoperability environments.

Platform builders are at the heart of these projects. They are responsible for evolving complex technology environments while ensuring reliability, performance, and governance.

The io.Connect Desktop 10.0 release improves the developer experience with enhanced deployment models, greater flexibility across environments, and new capabilities that make it easier to build and manage large-scale interoperable platforms. These improvements allow organizations to modernize faster while maintaining the stability their users expect.

Interoperability as a Strategic Foundation

Across capital markets, interoperability has moved from a technical convenience to a strategic capability.

Firms are increasingly looking for ways to modernize their platforms without replacing critical legacy systems, disrupting users, or undertaking multi-year rebuilds.

interop.io enables organizations to evolve their technology environments incrementally by connecting applications, orchestrating workflows, and enabling AI to interact with real systems.

The result is a platform that evolves alongside the business — one that is prepared for the continuous change necessary to remain relevant in the years ahead.

Thanks to A-Team Group and all those who support interop.io. We are grateful to our clients, partners, and the platform builders who continue to push interoperability forward.
