BNP Paribas Wealth Management, as the exclusive partner, and Forbes hosted the Forbes 30 under 30 Europe list launch event to celebrate young entrepreneurs who are leading the change.
Over 180 entrepreneurs attended the event on 14 May at Le Gorges on the rooftop of Pompidou Centre.
In his opening speech, Vincent Lecomte, CEO of BNP Paribas Wealth Management, said:


In an increasingly challenging and competitive world, it’s very positive and encouraging to see that innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit are more than ever at the heart of the European growth engine.
It particularly makes sense for us to be the exclusive partner of The Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe on the 10th anniversary of this list: we share a common desire with Forbes to bring entrepreneurs together into a community, to connect and share ideas, vision and success as well as challenges. We consider ourselves not only as a pure wealth manager, but as a connecting platform among entrepreneurs, generations and ecosystems.

The Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list recognises the most talented and influential young entrepreneurs in the region. They are the leaders who are creating tomorrow’s big companies across industries ranging from entertainment and retail to technology and manufacturing.

For the first time this year BNP Paribas Wealth Management partnered with Forbes to raise awareness of our expertise for entrepreneurs & NextGen. This partnership includes the event in Paris, a three-month digital advertising campaign on Forbes.com and on Forbes social media platforms.
