After the success of previous editions, Groupe BPCE and Atlas* are once again inviting students from French schools and universities to submit their ideas for reinventing the banking sector. 

Launched in 2021, the Innovate Your Bank challenge attracts nearly 1,000 participants each year from business schools, engineering schools, grandes écoles and universities.

Formed into teams of two to four people, students who take up the challenge can express their creativity by proposing original and innovative solutions to reinvent banking around themes related to Groupe BPCE’s activities and objectives.

The four themes proposed for this 5th edition are:

  • Banking offer: the eco-responsible bank for young people
  • Comms: boosting the visibility of BPCE L’Observatoire to promote Groupe BPCE
  • HR: making the Groupe BPCE Ambassador program stand out as a reference.
  • CSR: reinventing the sustainable housing of tomorrow!

You are creative and motivated?

Whatever your specialty, set up a team, choose the theme that inspires you the most and register now to try to be one of the four finalist teams that will pitch on May 13, 2025 in front of a jury of experts and will benefit from privileged visibility among Groupe BPCE’s decision-makers.

This is an opportunity to live a unique experience with, at stake, many rewards and potential professional opportunities!

Find all the information on the challenge website and submit your application before March 17.

(Website available in French only. To be eligible, submitted projects must be drafted in French.)

* Challenge led and financed by Atlas, OPCO for financial services and consulting, according to the areas of cooperation defined in the agreement signed with the Ministry of National Education and Youth, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
