Through this initiative, key players from the stock exchange and asset management sectors, associations, as well as several leading listed companies in the French market, come together to support accessible financial education and to empower the younger generations.

More About our Partners

Compete nationally. Challenge Europe. Only with NextWise!

Manage a virtual portfolio of €50,000 solo and/or €200,000 as a team, and compete against over 4,000 participants across Europe!

Through the Next Challenge (national competition) and the Euronext Trading Game (European competition), you get access to market data from the seven Euronext exchanges to invest in stocks and ETFs.

The Next Challenge was born in 2021 from a shared vision and strong collaboration among several key players united by a common goal: to make financial education accessible to all and to promote responsible portfolio management. Driven by this common goal, Professors Martine Carré-Tallon and Serge Darolles from Université Paris Dauphine - PSL partnered with the FinTech NextWise to collaboratively design and launch an innovative educational program centered on portfolio management.

Whether you’re a beginner, already experienced, or simply curious, this journey will allow you to manage a portfolio in a practical and engaging way by taking on a national challenge. You’ll gain the tools to better understand finance and build confidence in your investment decisions.

"The NextWise experience provided us with a lot of intellectual and personal insight. We believe that everyone has a responsibility in the ecological transition. Thus, we are convinced that finance must put itself at the service of today's major ecological challenges."

Adrien Le Breton

Auditor on internship at KPMG

"The challenge allowed us to not only strengthen our friendships but also to learn a lot about interesting topics such as the economy and the stock market. We really liked the fact that we were able to meet and discuss with investment professionals, which allowed us to learn and enrich our networks. For us, this is a much more effective form of learning than theoretical courses. We recommend this challenge to all students who want to live an exceptional human experience related to the stock market!"

" As far as we know, this is the only competition that includes the possibility of raising funds from investors: we believe this is a very formative element. All the members of our Club do their internship in the most prestigious management companies in Paris. So this challenge allowed us to put into practice the elements we learn in class and during our apprenticeship."
