How will the sandbox benefit UK firms?
Through this initiative, companies across the UK are expected to experiment with AI, utilizing NVIDIA’s accelerated computing capabilities and AI Enterprise Software. The FCA’s platform aims to assist firms during the discovery and experimental phases of AI while an existing AI Live Testing service supports those further along in development.
The FCA has emphasized its commitment to fostering economic growth through innovation and the use of advanced technologies like AI. With the Supercharged Sandbox, companies can access enhanced data, technical expertise, and regulatory support, aiding them in their innovation efforts.

At the time of writing, companies could apply for access to the Supercharged Sandbox through the FCA’s website. Successful applicants were set to begin experimenting as early as October 2025.
