BE FINNOVATIVE IMPACT ACCELERATOR
The National Bank of Greece organizes the business acceleration program ‘be finnovative’ in collaboration with Crowdpolicy and with the support of public and private bodies of the economy and society. This program aims to develop business ideas in the broader field of financial transactions and transform them into profitable new businesses.
The program be finnovative is addressed to students, professionals, managers and, in general, anyone wishing to develop their idea or methodology and transform it into a viable business model. The participating groups develop their idea in the broader field of financial transactions (fintech), e.g. in banking systems, banking transactions, payment transactions, mobile applications, automated customer care systems (bots), mobile payments, blockchain, e-commerce systems, ticketing etc., with applications not only in the banking sector but other dynamic sectors of the economy as well, such as tourism, agricultural economy, insurance, transport, energy, shipping etc.
Through specialized actions, the program provides the participants with business and technological advice from experienced executives, bootcamps for the development of specific skills, improvement of ideas with the use of lean development methodologies, development of MVP and prototypes, cooperation with mentors and businesses, and synergies with accelerators from abroad. Through this program, the open banking API of the National Bank of Greece is utilized for the creation of new applications.
Moreover, the program provides the participants with additional resources, such as cloud services, funding opportunities and contracts for the provision of services with the Bank.
The program be finnovative is an impact accelerator and, therefore, the participants are not required to provide services to the organizers in return.
