By Gloria Methri

Temenos has opened an Innovation Hub in Central Florida—bringing its technology development closer to its banking clients in the US.

Expanding its footprint in the country, Temenos will recruit approximately 200 technology and product developers at the new hub. The company will fuel and develop US-specific banking solutions powered by transformative technologies like Generative AI (GenAI).

This modern, collaborative space is designed for hands-on co-innovation, enabling Temenos, its clients, and partners to work side by side in developing real-world banking solutions. Financial institutions visiting the hub will gain direct access to the latest technology and work alongside Temenos experts to shape the next generation of banking.

Jean-Pierre Brulard, CEO of Temenos, said, “We are delighted to launch our Innovation Hub in Central Florida, a growing tech centre that provides access to top talent. This investment is in line with our strategy and commitment to the US market, further investing in our product, expanding our go-to-market capabilities and scaling through strategic partnerships. By bringing our technology development closer to our American clients, we are accelerating customer-centric innovation tailored for the US market.”

Barb Morgan, Chief Product & Technology Officer, Temenos said, “The Temenos Innovation Hub is a game-changer for Temenos and our US clients. With our relentless focus on innovation—investing around 20% of revenues in R&D—this centre will be a powerhouse for building the future of banking. It’s not just about showcasing our market-leading solutions; it’s about collaborating with our clients and partners to solve real challenges and drive the next wave of banking technology with our US clients and partners.”

Temenos has teamed up with the Orlando Economic Partnership (OEP) to facilitate the opening of the new Innovation Hub. This will enable Temenos to build stronger relationships with the tech community in Central Florida, access top talent and take advantage of incentives such as training grants.

Temenos joins a number of high-tech firms and banks in Central Florida with easy access to the thriving tech ecosystem and the broader Florida High Tech Corridor. Orlando is emerging as a significant technology centre, with tech job growth projected at 27% by 2030.

The area benefits from the presence of the University of Central Florida (UCF), one of the US’s largest universities, and a number of STEM-focused institutions. This will give Temenos access to a large pool of top tech talent and the potential for partnerships to drive future innovation.

Tim Giuliani, President and CEO of the Orlando Economic Partnership, said, “With strong infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and an expanding tech ecosystem, Central Florida is a prime location for tech companies looking to grow and innovate. We are pleased to see Temenos expanding in our region, and our team at the Orlando Economic Partnership is proud to continue supporting their expansion by connecting them to the right locations and resources. The investment in its Innovation Hub will create hundreds of high-skilled jobs and further strengthen our reputation as the destination for innovation in financial services.”
