BMCE Capital, part of BANK OF AFRICA, has launched a new edition of its innovation programme called CAP’AI Reverse by BK.
This time, the bank is changing how it works with startups. Instead of startups pitching ideas to the bank, BMCE Capital’s own teams will present real business problems and ask tech companies and fintech firms to help solve them.
The aim is to move faster from ideas to real products. The bank wants quick development of working test versions that can improve customer service and make internal processes more efficient.
Startups and tech firms have until 17 April to apply on the capai.ma website. Those selected could go on to build long-term partnerships and roll out their solutions across the bank’s operations in Africa.
The programme follows earlier initiatives such as Cap’INov and last year’s Cap’AI, which focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning.
BMCE Capital says AI is now key to its work in Morocco, Tunisia and the UEMOA region, especially in trading, asset management and risk control.
Because the bank operates in several countries, any successful solution could be used across multiple markets.
