“The Bank for a Changing
World” BNP Paribas encourages
and supports innovation in
all its forms. Technological
innovations are changing the
way we work and how our
clients work and we believe
collaboration and co creation
with start-ups is key. Financing
the real economy means
understanding the world of
tomorrow and anticipating
our clients’ needs, in a very
fast changing environment, to
innovate and deliver simple,
helpful and effective products
and sustainable solutions for
the future. As a bank, as also a
large tech company, we need to
extract from all that ecosystem
ideas and approaches. We
like entrepreneurs and we
are delighted to be Hello
Tomorrow’s Worldwide Global
Partner, exploring innovative
solutions together and building
the world of tomorrow.”
