A-Team Names Bloomberg BQuant “Best Data Science Solution” in the Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025

Bloomberg’s BQuant analytics platform was named “Best Data Science Solution” in the A-Team Group’s Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025. This award category recognizes the data science tools and solutions that can offer new opportunities for the business.

BQuant is a suite of advanced, off-the-shelf data science solutions designed specifically for financial markets. By offering operation-ready access to Bloomberg’s comprehensive range of multi-asset-class financial and alternative data and analytics, BQuant helps Bloomberg’s customers incorporate quantitative approaches to investment processes.

BQuant’s Python-based tech stack enables clients to use Bloomberg’s high-quality data and analytics together with open source data science libraries and pre-built template notebooks to quickly build financial analyses and dashboards, and research and test investment strategies. At the click of a button, project creators can publish their models as interactive applications that can be shared with permissioned colleagues at their firm via Bloomberg Launchpad.

“Advanced data science tools have become essential as capital markets firms adopt more systematic approaches to process larger, more complex datasets in order to build more rigorous and differentiated investment models,” said Shawn Edwards, Bloomberg’s Chief Technology Officer. “We built BQuant to give clients a finance-focused Python environment that scales with their ambitions, enabling them to build everything from analyst and portfolio manager dashboards to screening and scoring, as well as to apply more advanced techniques like factor analysis, backtesting, cross-asset signal research or even to use Bloomberg News data with LLMs to derive unique insights. A key part of our vision is to make these techniques more accessible, so we are investing in bringing AI-enabled workflows and intuitive visualization tools directly into BQuant, enabling both coders and non-coders to generate insights, act on information quickly, and bring investment strategies to market faster. Earning the ‘Best Data Science Solution’ award reinforces our mission to help clients innovate, expand access to sophisticated analytics, and unlock new investment opportunities.”

BQuant is available in two versions: BQuant Desktop and BQuant Enterprise.

Included with a Bloomberg Anywhere subscription, BQuant Desktop transforms how financial professionals analyze data and create investment strategies. This turnkey, and highly-performant advanced compute environment, gives enabled Bloomberg Terminal users programmatic access to Bloomberg data and analytics in a secure sandbox environment, where they can quickly develop and refine different strategies, enabling them to get new ideas to market fast. Since they no longer need to spend time extracting, normalizing and managing billions of raw data points, users can instead focus on interpreting the results of their data analysis and implementing them in their investment strategies.
