Profile

BNP Paribas Développement,an autonomous subsidiary of the international banking group BNP Paribas, is a limited company created in 1988 that invests its own funds directly to support the development of successful SMEs and mid-caps and ensure their sustainability by facilitating their transmission, as a minority shareholder. In 2016, BNP Paribas Développement created a structure dedicated to innovation capital that invests in seed and subsequent rounds to support the growth of start-ups with potential.

Beyond the financial resources made available to the company to ensure stable resources, BNP Paribas Développement's vocation is to support the management team in the realization of its medium-term strategic project.


Our minority positioning ensures our partners an adapted governance without interference in day-to-day management, while benefiting from the strength of a recognized group and the experience of a partner with a portfolio of more than 400 participations.

The investment in our own funds guarantees our partners the possibility of long-term support, adapted to the project and allowing the realization of intermediate operations: reorganization of capital, external growth
etc.

Over the years, BNP Paribas Développement has built up a real expertise in shareholding development, development and transfer operations. The quality of the teams' expertise and their involvement have enabled a growing and regular evolution of the investments led by BNP Paribas.

BNP Paribas Développement is a team of about thirty professionals mastering financial know-how and listening to entrepreneurial and family issues.
Our investors are located in the regions throughout the country with the companies they support.
