Organized in partnership with SKEMA Business School and Tonic Incubation, the first edition of "Bootstrap Entrepreneurship" took place from March 22 to 24 on the Lille campus.
"The aim of this event is to enable students with ideas to develop their projects," explains Sophie Duchamp, entrepreneurship project manager on campus. This first edition brought together eighteen students, including eight engineering students from the Lille campus. It featured workshops, work sessions, and testimonial sessions where students were able to acquire tools, obtain help from coaches, and talk with entrepreneurs. The three days concluded with the presentation of projects to a jury. Following this event, some students will be able to join an incubator to implement their concept or apply for the third-year CREDA "Business Creation and Development" course offered on the Paris campus.
An idea that becomes a project: The example of POEUF
Gurvan and Guillaume, second-year engineering students, are pleased with their participation in the boot camp. "Over the course of three days, we worked on our business plan and thought about developing an app." These two students aim to develop an eco-friendly, biomimetic incubator, the POEUF project. They hope to eventually create a start-up that would market this new-generation incubator.
