In front of some forty students who attended the official signing ceremony, Christophe Le Pape, Deputy CEO of Natixis Assurances, highlighted the goals of the partnership:

• develop and maintain collaborative efforts leading to shared research and development work;
• encourage the implementation of innovative projects with the students from Centrale;
• support the students' sports projects by sponsoring the Rugby Sports Association of Centrale Lille.

This unprecedented partnership for Natixis Assurances will give rise to many discussions and projects through cohesion-building events that will strengthen the links between students and operational people.
