OpenBB Workspace (https://openbb.co/) is an AI-native financial workspace where investment teams do their daily work - building custom analytics apps on proprietary data, unifying tools, and AI agents, and replacing fragmented legacy platforms with a single secure environment.
In short, OpenBB blends open-source principles with sophisticated financial data and analytics tooling, making it a noteworthy option for firms and professionals seeking flexibility, transparency, and lower costs compared with legacy financial data systems.
Didier Lopes, the founder, earned an MSc with distinction in Control Systems from Imperial College London and has published two papers (ECC and ICMLA).

As the founder and CEO of OpenBB, he frequently speaks at events like CFA Society New York, Web Summit, and Cornell Financial Engineering Manhattan, sharing insights on open source and AI in finance. His work has been recognized by leading tech publications, including TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and VICE Magazine.
