Eight fintech and insurtech startups have joined the innovation accelerator program run by L’Atelier BNP Paribas.
Over the next four months, the startups will be working on an open innovation program with the aim of meeting specific needs expressed by various BNP Paribas businesses in a number of fields including insurance, payment methods, customer experience, cybersecurity, risk analysis and compliance.
Each startup will be working along with one of the BNP Paribas Group’s businesses to develop co-innovations that will open up new business opportunities and help create new products and services for the Bank’s customers.
Each of them will receive coaching in such areas as IT, marketing, business practice and fundraising from the L’Atelier BNP Paribas Lab team, plus mentoring from entrepreneurs and financial industry experts. The startups will be hosted at the BNP Paribas We Are Innovation (WAI) space in Paris.
