The BNP Paribas Group in Luxembourg is participating for the first time in the International Hackathon organised by the BNP Paribas worldwide group, which will take place simultaneously in Luxembourg, Paris, San Francisco, Brussels, Rome, Berlin, Istanbul, Warsaw, Singapore and Nanjhing, between 9 and 11 June 2017.
The Hackathon aims to bring together startups, collaborators and stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem to design solutions for the bank's clients in a limited time and to stimulate innovation on both sides with the ultimate goal of improving the customer experience in banking and insurance.
The Luxembourg team will face two challenges. In one, they need to imagine a true digital user experience to achieve a life project, an end-user solution that is not product-oriented. And for the second, they will need to imagine additional services that BGL BNP Paribas could offer its clients, including non-banking services.
The start-up registrations can be done directly on the website: https://international-hackathon.bnpparibas/cities/luxembourg-en/
At the end of the two days, in Luxembourg, a jury composed of top managers of the Group in Luxembourg and external candidates will select the winning startup who will receive a cash prize as well as access to ten weeks of co-working to convert their work into a viable product, which they will present in Paris during the Demo Day on 1 December. They will then compete with the winners of the other participating countries.
The Demo Day finalists will receive a prize and will have the opportunity to meet the top executives of the BNP Paribas Group.
