Abstract

Financial innovation, which encompasses the introduction of new products, services and processes in the financial sector, plays an essential role in the contemporary economy. This article explores the scientific literature on this subject through a bibliometric analysis, aiming to identify research trends, key players and emerging themes. The central issue concerns the increase in publications on financial innovation and the role of international collaborations. Two hypotheses guide the study: the first suggests a significant growth in publications over the last decade, and the second postulates that international collaborations are crucial to the development of knowledge. The methodology is based on bibliometric analysis via the Scopus database, using VOSviewer software to visualize relationships between publications and authors. The study is divided into several stages, including a literature review and a presentation of the results. The results reveal a strong increase in publications on financial innovation, confirming the first hypothesis. In addition, analysis of international collaborations highlights dynamic research networks, illustrating the crucial role of these collaborations in the dissemination of knowledge.  In addition, analysis of international collaborations highlights dynamic research networks, illustrating the crucial role of these collaborations in disseminating knowledge. These results indicate not only the growing interest in the subject, but also the importance of a collaborative approach to enriching financial innovation research. This research contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of financial innovation, and underlines the importance of continuing investigations in this constantly evolving field.
