BNP Paribas serves up tennis champion training game

BNP Paribas, the French bank, has launched an electronic training competition aimed at business school and university students, in which they manage the assets of a tennis champion, help tennis entrepreneurs and set up tennis tournaments.

'Ace Manager' is designed to give students an understanding of the group's three core businesses, retail banking, investment banking and asset management.

Entirely designed in English, the game takes place in the economic environment of tennis, in which the students become the financial advisers of the tennis industry.

Participants must be in teams of four. The five best teams will be invited to Paris in April for the finals to compete for €10,000 in prize money.

BNP Paribas has had an interest in tennis for 35 years since it began sponsoring the French Open in 1973. BNP became the title sponsor of the Davis Cup in 2001, title sponsor of the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas in 2005, and title sponsor of the BNP Paribas Masters in 1986.
