Challenge Fintech for Tomorrow 2019 – Results
Build an inclusive low-carbon economy, limit global warming and stop biodiversity loss, are some of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate. On a global scale, the achievement of these objectives will require a massive shift of financial flows. In this perspective, how can technological innovation be used to finance the ecological and energy transition? Faced with the magnitude of the challenges, it is indeed essential to mobilize our capacity to innovate, to imagine new solutions, and to scale up.
This is the goal of the Challenge Fintech for Tomorrow: to mobilize start-ups and companies with innovative digital solutions in order to facilitate the financing of the transition and reduce the environmental impact of the financial sector
Finance for Tomorrow aims to reward solutions able to transform financial sector practices and reorient capital flows. With the support of ADEME, the state’s key operator for the ecological and energy transition, and EIT Climate-KIC, a major actor for climate innovation in Europe, the Challenge highlights promising French and international fintech projects and connect them with the actors of the French innovation ecosystem to support their development.
