Celent Model Awards
Every year, we recognize excellence in the usage of technology through our Model Insurer, Model Bank, Model Risk Manager, Model Wealth Manager, Model Sell Side, and Model Buy Side Awards.
The awards recognize a financial institution’s effective use of technology in different areas, often representing a best practice, and are designed to answer the deceptively simple question: What would it look like for a firm to do everything right with today’s technology?
Of course, no firm is a “Model” firm across the board. Therefore, we focus on specific real-world examples of individual technology initiatives. Case studies for the winning initiatives will be presented through our annual reports detailing how and what they did to succeed.
The submission for our 2025 Model Awards program are now closed. Winners of this year's Model Awards program will be revealed at our flagship event Innovation & Insight Day on June 18, 2025.
