Calling all AI Businesses for Financial Services

BNP Paribas Personal Finance, in partnership with SuperTech are seeking innovative AI businesses for an exploratory exchange of innovation ideas, products and services to inform their future roadmap.

Building on the success of the interactions with exciting SMEs through the online knowledge exchange programme, the Connector Series BNP Paribas Personal Finance are taking this to the next level with both scale, seniority and in-person meetings as part of Birmingham Tech Week. This is a unique opportunity to engage with top executives from a range of functions across the personal finance business.

How the event will work

Think a little like speed-networking, but more relaxed and with more general mingling.  Each company attending will get to meet with at least two different functional areas (e.g. risk team, finance, marketing) to talk about AI based solutions. There will also be general networking time to meet with other representatives and connect with other attendees. 

What are we looking for?

BNP Paribas are extremely committed to innovation and this activity is part of their core activity in this regard. The intention is to:

• Go beyond the core business and take time to lift heads to inform their technology and business roadmap; 

• To address the ‘we don’t know what we don’t know’ in relation to opportunities afforded by AI’

• Build relationships with potential future partners with mutual, bilateral benefits; 

• Enhance innovation culture and engagement across the business through wider participation from across the business.

Who should register

This event is for companies with product(s)/ service(s) applicable to the financial services sector leveraging frontier technologies (beyond automation).  It is not suitable for pre-revenue, idea or early-stage businesses.
