Following its successful launch in 2019, the annual program provides a framework for Credit Suisse to strategize and exchange ideas with partners who are leading disruptive changes in technology. The DTR Program is a joint initiative between the bank's Investment Banking and Capital Markets division and the Group Chief Information Officer and offers participants the opportunity to work collaboratively to promote innovation at the bank and its partner firms.

"We are very excited to continue the DTR program into 2020 and were most impressed with this year's winners. At Credit Suisse, we view innovation and continuous improvement as key ingredients to delivering successful IT solutions. Our DTR program partners continue to set a high bar for change and we look forward to learning from each other as we move forward," said Laura Barrowman, Group Information Officer for Credit Suisse AG.

Credit Suisse works with many partners across the technology space, and the 2020 DTR Program allowed the Firm to look specifically at game-changing companies that focus on improving enterprise technology, with broad applicability across industries.
