Our 14th Social Enterprise Hackathon

It’s hard to believe that last week was our 14th BNP Paribas Social Enterprise Hackathon. Not our 3rd or 5th or even 10th — but 14th! Across these events, we have worked with more than 500 leadership talent from BNP Paribas and supported more than 70 inspiring social partners from non-profits and social enterprises, all doing work that is directly linked with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Last week the 35 selected talent worked and learned alongside some wonderful leaders from five purpose-led organizations to achieve real outcomes on strategic challenges they are facing. These inspiring social partners were:

  • Steven O’Connell from Football Cooperative, who provide recreational football as ‘a hook’ to bring men in Ireland together with a clear objective to improve participants’ overall health.


  • Yehalem Abebe from Partners in Education Ethiopia , who improve the lives of children in Ethiopia through an integrated, holistic educational and community approach.


  • Blandine BEAUSSANT from True Stories, who help companies attract and retain talent by enabling their employees to commit to the major issues of our century.


  • Moureen Aguti from Imagine Her (IH), who accelerate and catalyze the potential and opportunities for last-mile women and youth in Uganda as social entrepreneurs tackling energy and food poverty.


  • Maud LHUILLIER from Un Enfant Par La Main, who support children around the world in concretely accessing their rights.



    • All five social leaders left with tangible outcomes they are taking back to their teams to help address real and urgent business challenges. We are grateful to all of them for investing their time with us and happy to help contribute to these incredible organizations.

    Congratulations to all of the BNP Paribas leadership talent who participated in this experience!
