The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is running RegHackTO, the first hackathon by a Canadian securities regulator. The event brings together Canadian innovators, strategists and developers to collaborate on possible solutions to shared challenges in regulation.
The event follows the establishment of OSC LaunchPad, which engages with fintech businesses, provides support in navigating requirements, and strives to keep regulation in step with digital innovation.
