The EFIF provides a platform for supervisors to meet regularly to share experiences from engagement with firms through innovation facilitators (regulatory sandboxes and innovation hubs), to share technological expertise, and to reach common views on the regulatory treatment of innovative products, services and business models, overall boosting bilateral and multilateral coordination.
The EFIF was established further to the January 2019  Joint ESA report on regulatory sandboxes and innovation hubs which identified a need for action to promote greater coordination and cooperation between innovation facilitators to support the scaling up of FinTech across the single market. 

You will find here the innovation facilitators in the EU:

The Joint Committee acts as a forum for the exchange of supervisory information, experiences and practices on financial conglomerates, through which the ESAs develop joint positions and agree on common acts in this area.

As part of its responsibilities, the Joint Committee maintains and publishes a list of identified financial conglomerates as required under the Financial Conglomerates Directive (Directive 2002/87/EC).
