Hugo de Broucker : The initial meeting took place in 2022, via B!UP, the BNP Paribas accelerator. A fantastic opportunity to share ideas and be ‘accelerated’ at Station F (Paris), an ultra-stimulating environment. After this initial contact, we met with the IT department of BNP Paribas’ Banque Commerciale en France (BCEF French Retail Banking) in response to a call for tenders, which we won in December 2022.

The IT team at BCEF (French Retail Banking)** was looking for a solution to assess and manage the emissions associated with its applications, and we were lucky enough to be chosen! It’s very valuable to be able to navigate within the Group with the help of the B!UP accelerator, which opens a lot of doors for us. 

**Sopht is co-innovating with BNP Paribas as part of the Green Eco initiative. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of a dashboard to measure the environmental footprint of each of BCEF’s IT applications in France, and to identify ways of reducing it.
