Reaching out to the public, demystifying finance, and contributing to the financial education of young people—these were the guiding threads that ran through the Agora de la Finance – Pôle Grand Nord. The event, organized at the initiative of the group of sister companies AIC, BUH, and Ayiti Leasing, chaired by entrepreneur Olivier Barrau, was structured around two major gatherings.

The launch of the Agora de la Finance took place on January 19 at the Hostellerie du Roi Christophe, in the presence of executives from the three partner institutions. Marc Georges, former president of the Board of Directors of the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Nord, delivered the opening remarks of this first day, which was intended for private companies, health facilities (hospitals, clinics, and health centers), entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as representatives of the organized private sector, notably chambers of commerce.
