Designing Enterprise Software in a Bot-First Banking Environment
NORD/LB is exploring how internal & digital enterprise interaction should evolve as chat-based interfaces and AI assistants become a primary entry point to work. NORD/LB invites selected partners to contribute strategic frameworks, interaction models, or platform and technology-layer approaches to shape the future interplay of chat, bots and classical enterprise software in a regulated banking environment.
Who can participate?
This project is open to partners who work on enterprise interaction, experience, architecture or AI-driven systems. Different organisational sizes and maturity levels are explicitly welcome. A fully developed product is not required.

How to submit
Process
To participate, solution providers submit two elements via the ekipa platform:
1. Fixed Questions
After joining the project, applicants complete a short set of mandatory questions. These questions ensure comparability across all submissions and allow NORD/LB to assess solution fit quickly and fairly.
You will find the fixed questions in your workspace under "Submission" once you registered for the challenge.
2. Pitch Deck (PDF upload)
Applicants upload a concise pitch deck providing additional depth. The deck may include:
- a framework, model or conceptual structure underlying the approach
- illustrations of interaction patterns (e.g. chat vs. UI, orchestration, user roles)
- reference architectures or approach breakdowns (conceptual, not technical)
- selected examples, benchmarks or prior work that help contextualise the idea
