After this period, start-ups will present their projects at the Demo Day in front of an international jury of innovators, investors and members of the general management of BNP Paribas.
Finally, 5 startups will have access to the final step: an incubation period of 4 to 6 months which will provide them with financial support, a dedicated workplace, a tailored programme and potential partnerships with the Group.
BNP Paribas is proud to offer to these entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop innovative ideas in a service improvement approach for its customers. Participating startups retain the integrity of their projects’ intellectual property rights.
