There is a real operational benefit as the teams that use robots save time.The needs are varied and because they concern all operational sectors, we learn something new every day. It's difficult to get bored. »Brice LAMPA, RPA Project Manager  <h3>Discover in video RPA within Crédit Agricole CIB :</h3> <div class="video-embed-field-responsive-video"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WRIZLyNJEdo?autoplay=0&start=0&rel=0" width="854"></iframe></div></body>

Crédit Agricole CIB sponsored the world's largest fintech event for the fifth consecutive year.From 8 to 12 November 2021, our co-exhibitors – the French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and startups <a @href="https://pasqal.io/">Pasqal</a> (quantum computing) and <a @href="https://www.illuin.tech">Illuin Technology</a> (artificial intelligence) – and us received over 550 content interactions at our e-booth to showcase our innovative products and services. Quantum computing, a game changer in bankingAs part of the Industry Leader Series, Pierre Dulon, Deputy General Manager for IT and Operations, and Valérie Sauvage, Head of Global IT for Asia-Pacific & Middle-East, shed light on how to ‘Create an advantage with Quantum Computing today’ during the symposium. This game-changer, considered as important as the arrival of the classical computer, has shown promising applications in capital markets, risk management, portfolio optimisation, simulation, machine learning and security enhancement.  “We believe that our showcase during Singapore FinTech Festival will benefit everyone working on the development of quantum computing technology. Learning from the experiences of others provides opportunities for reflection and unintended discoveries that may turn out to be quantum leaps. In addition, we at Information Systems Asia-Pacific (ISAP) hope to collaborate with local fintech firms, leveraging their current expertise and furthering our ability to innovate." Valérie Sauvage, Head of Global IT for Asia-Pacific & Middle-East, commented.To improve calculation speed and process more complex computations which cannot be handled by traditional computers, we have established a quantum computing workgroup in 2020 and have launched <a @href="https://www.ca-cib.com/pressroom/news/credit-agricole-cib-explores-quantum-computing-with-pasqal-and-multiverse-computing">two proofs of concept with Pasqal and Multiverse Computing</a>. Loïc Chauvet, Head of IT Innovation, and Christophe Michel, Head of Global Market Quantitative Research, further tapped into the future of quantum computing with Pasqal, a partner quantum hardware manufacturer. <a @href="https://youtu.be/QSoapzhJB10">Watch the replay here</a>.Technology as an enabler to meet climate goalsBeside computing, climate finance was also one of the areas of focus that Crédit Agricole CIB brought to the forefront this year with the ‘<a @href="https://youtu.be/V521OHyTW6g">Climate risk and reporting stakes</a>’ workshop led by Romaric Rollet, our Head of Innovation and Digital Transformation and featuring our 2 ESG startup partners, Amalthea FS and Iceberg Data Lab. Believing that technology will be key to address the transition to Net Zero targets and can transform constraints into opportunities, Romaric explored how fintech can help financial institutions with ESG regulatory issues such as the Green Asset Ratio, a regulation affecting any bank running activities in Europe. During Product Showcases, Antoine Rose, our Head of Sustainable Banking for Asia-Pacific & Middle-East, spotlighted the ‘<a @href="https://youtu.be/GhvUvUq02Gg">Greenifying Trade Finance</a>’ challenge. Trade finance is a critical component of the global economy and is poised to become a trillion-dollar market by the end of the decade. The integration of ESG into this market is relatively new, but it is a crucial trend for promoting sustainability in global trade and supply chains. Fintech such as blockchain and APIs offer a major opportunity to tackle environmental concerns in this business.   In addition to the panels and workshops, Crédit Agricole CIB was one of the 10 pioneering partners and the only French player to join ChekFIN, a global fintech registry launched by the ASEAN Financial Innovation Network (AFIN) during the Singapore Fintech Festival. Using the latest generation of Web 3.0 services, ChekFIN provides greater connectivity between financial institutions and fintechs through an open standard and decentralised solution, allowing to efficiently identify suitable fintech partners to transform business to better serve our customers.The 5-day programme full of exciting and interactive activities between exhibitors and participants has led to the climatic finale of the Singapore Fintech Festival. Looking ahead, technology and innovation will remain a key topic for the Bank. Our ambition to further foster the development of fintech will continue to support Crédit Agricole CIB’s commitment to adapting new disruptive technology to create sustainable and innovative solutions, not only for the benefits of clients but also for the society at large.</body>

In October 2020, Crédit Agricole CIB joined the <a @href="https://www.mas.gov.sg/schemes-and-initiatives/Finance-Associate-Management-Scheme-FAMS" @target="_blank">Singapore Financial Associate Management Scheme (FAMS)</a> to support the government's youth talent development initiatives.Under the Financial Associate Management Scheme (FAMS), the Bank created the “Butterfly Programme”, a two-year traineeship offering personalised learning tailored to the role fresh graduates are considering, while enhancing individual capabilities. During their traineeship, fresh graduates are provided with all-rounded training in job-specific areas to deepen their software engineering skills and financial knowledge.Since the inception of the “Butterfly Programme”, the Bank has hosted 45 trainees over three sessions. Let’s hear the stories of three of our trainees who talk about why they chose Crédit Agricole CIB and how they feel about the “Butterfly programme”.<h2>Yong Hao Febrin Lee’s traineeship in Risk Finance IT</h2><img @alt="Photo of Yong Hao Febrin Lee" @class="align-left" @data-entity-type="file" @data-entity-uuid="b63a480c-3b58-418a-905e-20f1b2dcc388" @src="https://www.ca-cib.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Febrin-Lee-150-150.png"></img>“As a millennial, I want to work for an organisation that believes in investing in graduates and knows the responsibility of going green. Crédit Agricole CIB met my requirements and I am truly honoured to have been given the opportunity to work for this Bank. The experience so far has been very positive, I have gained knowledge and made valuable friends. The trainers have been sharing their own experiences and checked our progress, making the training more engaging. I look forward to meeting them all soon.”  <h2>Sam Lim’s traineeship in Capital Market IT</h2><img @alt="Photo of Sam Lim" @class="align-left" @data-entity-type="file" @data-entity-uuid="fd7664c6-7a76-4d91-bbb5-8e5d3a8de3d1" @src="https://www.ca-cib.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Sam-Lim-150-150.png"></img>“There aren’t many graduate programmes and joining an international bank with a strong global presence is a great exposure, which really yields the best value from Singapore as the Southeast Asia’s business hotspot. I was surprised to learn that CACIB is one of the pioneers in green finance. This is very important to me as I do believe in sustainable development; I am currently contributing ideas to reduce plastic bag use in supermarkets to the relevant statutory board. The Butterfly coordinators handled the integration process very well, so we were able to seamlessly transition to working from home after the first week. A lot of efforts has clearly gone to the planning and quality of our training.”  <h2>Joseph Chan’s traineeship in Corporate IT</h2><img @alt="Photo of Joseph Chan" @class="align-left" @data-entity-type="file" @data-entity-uuid="00c55525-79f1-460d-a3e2-e50144974337" @src="https://www.ca-cib.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Joseph-Chan-150-150.png"></img>“I pursued data science and machine learning algorithms at university, but it was not easy to find a job in data science as an undergraduate. Thus, I worked as a software developer for a year, until a friend informed me of an opening for a machine learning position through the Crédit Agricole CIB's Butterfly Programme. The structured learning programme and the mentorship system gave me confidence that I would be able to develop my skills and gain more knowledge about how data science is applied in a large industry like banking. The induction week had plenty of activities that allowed us to get to know the other new hires.”  <h2>Interested in joining our Butterfly Programme?</h2>See the available job offers below:<ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=owFDgfwO&s=URL " @target="_blank">Software Developer Analyst</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=ozFDgfwR&s=URL " @target="_blank">Software DevOps Analyst</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=oAFDgfwS&s=URL " @target="_blank">Quality Assurance Analyst</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=oCFDgfwU&s=URL " @target="_blank">Application Run Analyst</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=oG8pgfwd&s=URL " @target="_blank">Risk, KYC and Compliance Support Analyst</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=ooYBgfwX&s=URL " @target="_blank">Full stack Developer - Payments Domain</a></li></ul><ul><li><a @href="https://app.jobvite.com/j?cj=orYBgfw0&s=URL " @target="_blank">Full stack Developer - Financing Domain</a></li></ul></body>

We firmly believe that tomorrow’s economic drivers and champions of industry are created by the synergy of start-ups and local contributors to innovation. We also aim to promote and support entrepreneurship beyond our own borders, so that projects anchored in our regions can resonate around the world,” said Aurelie Bellahsen, Head of International Network for Le Village by CA.“This collaboration marks another key milestone to Crédit Agricole CIB Hong Kong’s innovation journey. As an international corporate and investment bank, we see the values innovation brings to the commercial world and to the relationships with our clients. It is very exciting to see solid collaboration and actions being successfully established now between the two key incubators in Hong Kong SAR and in France,” said François Martin, Chief Executive Officer for Crédit Agricole CIB Hong Kong Branch.“We are excited to see the strategic collaboration between Crédit Agricole CIB and HKSTP.
