BNP Paribas launches the prototype AGORA, first online community for corporate clients

AGORA, online community  

AGORA was born from a shared conviction that expanding the group’s professional client network is a growth lever for the sustainable development of their business, enabling them to:

• Look for new clients,   
  
• Identify distributors or new suppliers,
  
• Get in touch with startups,
  
• Develop their business through partnerships and merger-acquisitions.
  

With its network of over 850,000 corporate, professional and startup clients, BNP Paribas has taken the initiative to create this community that will allow the clients in it to connect with each other on a global scale, in a safe and trustworthy environment. 

AGORA is an innovative platform that addresses the needs of the real economy. It is currently in its trial phase with 50 pilot clients. The platform was co-developed by four BNP Paribas business lines – Retail Banking in France, Corporate & Institutional Banking, Wealth Management and BNP Paribas Fortis – in order to let participants benefit from the strength of the Group’s network.
