Sustainable Development Goals n°9: build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
BNP Paribas has established itself as the leading bank for start-ups and innovative companies, offering the market’s most comprehensive banking and financial mechanism to promote innovation.
