MSA Lab receives funding from Dutch Research Council

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) is a leading science funding organization in the Netherlands, funding and supporting top researchers. Their Take-off program stimulates entrepreneurship within Dutch knowledge institutions by bridging the funding gap between academic research and market application, helping valuable innovations take their first steps toward commercialization.

The Market Surveillance Analytics (MSA) Lab received the Take-off grant to further develop its IP strategy, business model and go-to-market strategy for commercialization.

About MSA Lab

Financial markets are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated manipulative behaviors, disrupting prices and undermining effective risk management. To address this, WUR, CORMEC and CERN developed the MSA Lab: an advanced surveillance software applying novel particle physics methodologies to financial market data, to detect manipulation.

Built on CERN’s ROOT framework, MSA Lab processes high-frequency data, produces large-scale statistical distributions, performs statistical analysis, and visualizes market behaviors with transparency and explainability. Unlike existing solutions, it integrates top-down and bottom-up approaches and facilitates cross-market surveillance.
