Igniting The Power of Innovation at Techfest

Organised by our Technology team, led by Chris Cochrane, M&G's Chief Information Technology Officer, Techfest, an M&G technology initiative, aims to explore the latest advances in technology and innovation.

This year's M&G Techfest, themed 'Igniting the Power of Innovation', showcased the creativity and collaboration of our global team as we develop new ways to support business growth and client outcomes.

We hosted 32 inspiring sessions across five locations - London, Mumbai, Luxembourg, Singapore and Scotland - bringing together over 1,500 colleagues, business partners and stakeholders from around the world.

Colleagues had the opportunity to network, collaborate and immerse themselves in the latest technology trends through hands-on demonstrations and interactive workshops. The insights gained from Techfest provide us with opportunities to evolve our business and improve customer and client experiences through AI and innovation.

Chris Cochrane, Chief Information Technology Officer says:

“Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make TechFest 2024 a resounding success - I'm proud to have been part of it and really enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm. It was a real pleasure to collaborate with colleagues and partners to showcase the latest advances in technology. It's important that we continue to harness the power of innovation to drive M&G forward and support client outcomes. See you at TechFest 2025!”
