LONDON - London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG:LON) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced Monday an expansion of their strategic partnership to enhance access to AI-ready financial data through Microsoft’s Copilot tools.

The collaboration will allow LSEG customers to build and deploy AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio using financial data licensed through LSEG products like Workspace and Financial Analytics. These agents can then be integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot and other applications.

The integration utilizes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to enable secure connectivity between LSEG’s financial data and Microsoft’s AI tools. This implementation allows for standardized data transfer and interoperability with customers’ own AI systems and third-party applications.

LSEG’s AI-ready content includes datasets spanning decades and totaling more than 33 petabytes, according to the press release statement. The company plans a phased rollout of data accessibility through MCP, beginning with LSEG Financial Analytics.

"LSEG’s partnership with Microsoft is transforming access to data for financial professionals with cutting edge, AI-driven innovation at scale," said David Schwimmer, Group Chief Executive Officer at LSEG. "LSEG customers can build, deploy and scale agentic AI directly into their workflows with secure, seamless connectivity through MCP."

Nick Parker, Microsoft Chief Business Officer and President of Worldwide Sales & Solutions, stated that the partnership aims to "redefine the future of financial services through secure, AI-driven innovation."

The initiative is part of LSEG’s broader AI strategy called "LSEG Everywhere," which focuses on delivering licensed data to scale AI applications in financial services. The collaboration is designed to help financial professionals enhance decision-making and productivity while lowering barriers to innovation.
