C.Entrepreneurs, BNP Paribas Cardif’s investment fund managed by Cathay Innovation invests in early-stage startups in all the countries where BNP Paribas Cardif operates, or in countries where BNP Paribas Cardif aims to become established.
C.Entrepreneurs supports the development of startups from all over the world, working on technologies or services related to the insurance of tomorrow, as well as its distribution and accessibility.
