Crédit Agricole will be at VivaTech from 22 to 25 May in Paris

The Crédit Agricole Group is to attend Europe’s largest event dedicated to innovation, alongside 25 start-ups supported by the Villages by CA. For the second time, it will have its own dedicated space of nearly 200 m².

Numerous Group entities will be represented at the stand, where they will spend the four days of the conference presenting innovative solutions. A HR corner will also be open to provide information to candidates. Themed guided tours will be organised to offer business line and Regional Bank customers and staff the chance to learn about the latest trends in the fields of AI, payments, mobility, energy transitions, etc.

This event is an opportunity for Crédit Agricole to reaffirm its commitment, unwavering since its inception, to support important innovations that help the company evolve and grow, to the benefit of all of its customers and across all of its territories.

The Centre-est and Nord de France Regional Banks have played an active role in the construction of the industrial methanation unit in Belleville-en-Beaujolais. Together they made a comprehensive offer to cover the €8 million needed to finance the debt. Crédit Agricole Centre-est has a relationship with the community and with the SEMOP* that initiated the project. Crédit Agricole Nord de France acted as Agent and Arranger in conjunction with the operator Agriopale Services. The unit will ultimately produce 350 Nm3 of biomethane per hour, representing an injected volume of 28.65 GWh/year which will power the equivalent of 5,200 homes.

* Société d’économie mixte à opération unique (semi-public company with a single purpose)

Many Europeans
do not understand the basics of economics

According to a Eurobaromètre survey conducted in 2023, nearly half of all Europeans do not understand basic economic and financial concepts, including inflation. Only 18% of EU citizens demonstrated a high level of financial comprehension. The highest performing countries were the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland and Estonia. 65% of those questioned did know that during periods of inflation, their buying power diminishes and they can therefore buy less than they could previously with the same money.
