The newest collaboration with the RIOT Investment Society from the University of Bologna represents our strong commitment to offering our users valuable data access, exclusive support, and training events.

As September rolls over, it’s time to start checking off that back-to-school kit.

While everything else goes up in price, OpenBB remains committed to developing free, open source, financial analysis tools for the modern world. Our platform levels the playing field between all students jockeying for positions around the handful of workstations in the Finance Lab or Library.

When you install OpenBB on your laptop, there’s no more signing up for a time slot to use the research lab.

No travelling to campus, uphill in both directions in the snow, to use the common workstation.

Unlike student perks, such as library and data repository privileges, OpenBB is not bound within the halls of the Ivory Towers. Users get access to their data, wherever they are located, on any machine, at any time. We are on a mission to democratize the financial research process.

For these reasons, and more, OpenBB is proud to announce the sponsorship of Riot Investment Society, at the University of Bologna, Italy.

This partnership gives members access to, much-needed, data enabling meaningful analysis of local and global markets. We’ll also be providing exclusive support, and conducting training events throughout the academic year to further their scholastic efforts.

More importantly, collaborating with the next generation of finance professionals will help shape and evolve an industry on the cusp of disruption.

In the fast-paced world of finance, having the right tools makes all the difference. As the head of quantitative research at Riot Investment Society, I've tried a variety of software, but OpenBB really stands out. It's straightforward, yet deep in its capabilities. Being open-source and available as a Python library means it's super accessible.

With OpenBB, our team's research has levelled up, and we've been able to get everyone, regardless of their tech background, involved and excited.

If there's one tool I'd recommend to anyone looking to make sense of data, it's OpenBB. It's transformed how we work, and I believe it can do the same for you.
