Crédit Agricole CIB, co-organiser of the hackathon on “Technology to serve sustainable and inclusive finance”
In June 2022, the Paris Dauphine University Fintech Chair launched its first hackathon on the theme “Technology for sustainable and inclusive finance”. This was co-organised by Crédit Agricole CIB and Mazars. It was open to all students ready to tackle the challenges of financial inclusion, sustainable finance and diversity in Fintechs. Supported by the two partners, the students imagined a “Fintech for good” that serves society.
This 100% digital hackathon was punctuated with inspiration sessions to help participants better understand the issues and the jury’s expectations. The reward: 6,000 euros divided between categories, and the opportunity to pitch their project in front of tech professionals, investors, and incubators!
The jury was made up of members of Paris Dauphine University, Mazars and Crédit Agricole CIB, as well as many industry experts: Blockchain for Good, Ecotree, Elaia, Epsor, Finastra, France Fintech, French Founders, France Innovation, Greenly, Incubateur Paris Dauphine, Le Village by CA, Plug &Play and Willa. This hackathon really encourages an entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to the financial prize, the winners had the opportunity to meet venture capitalists, technology experts and experienced entrepreneurs, and were given coaching sessions to bring their projects to life.
This hackathon gave Crédit Agricole CIB the opportunity to create a real dynamic and to be with the students during their studies and at the start of their professional life. The candidates were able to compare their proposals with the Bank’s vision for tomorrow’s finance.
