| Joanne Horgan (Regnology)

| Dr Simone di Castri (Cambridge SupTech Lab)

In the debut episode of the Suptech Broadcast, Joanne Horgan (Regnology) and Dr. Simone di Castri (Cambridge SupTech Lab) join FNA to map the global shift in supervisory maturity. As financial systems become hyper-connected and data volumes explode, the guests argue that central banks can no longer rely on "Gen 1" manual processes.

The conversation centers on the "End-to-End" Paradigm: moving beyond simple data collection to a fully integrated workflow of ingestion, analytics, and automated decision-support. Joanne and Simone explore how both developed and emerging markets are navigating the "Tactical vs. Strategic" divide—balancing the need for immediate "low-hanging fruit" with the long-term goal of building resilient, cloud-native digital public infrastructure.

Key Discussion Points:

The Four Generations of Suptech: A roadmap showing the evolution from manual Excel-based reporting (Gen 1) to AI-powered, real-time automated oversight (Gen 4).
The RegOps Revolution: How the principles of DevOps are being applied to regulation to create a continuous, automated loop between reporting firms and supervisors.
Tactical Wins vs. Strategic Roadmaps: Advice for central banks on securing early internal buy-in through high-impact pilots while simultaneously designing 10-year innovation blueprints.
Leapfrogging in Emerging Markets: Why developing economies are often leading the way in API-first reporting and mobile-centric oversight due to a lack of legacy "IT debt."
Capacity Building & Culture: The critical importance of the Cambridge SupTech Lab’s mission to upskill the "Human-in-the-Loop," ensuring supervisors can interpret AI-driven signals.
Cloud-Native Foundations: Why scalability and elasticity (modular, containerized software) are non-negotiable for handling the granular data requirements of modern finance.
Global Collaborative Trends: How cross-jurisdictional knowledge sharing is accelerating the adoption of standardized data models like ISO 20022.
