The Entrepreneurship and Technological Innovation Program supports individuals with projects to start a business or develop technological innovations within a company.

Main body text

A training program available on all campuses

Arts et Métiers the development of local businesses by training young talent.

The Grande Ecole Engineering Programme (PGE) at Arts et Métiers three tracks, depending on the options chosen in the second and third years:

  • Jobs in the Industry of the Future
  • Research and Development,
  • Entrepreneurship and Technological Innovation.

The Entrepreneurship and Technological Innovation Program (PEIT) is one of these three programs. It is aimed at engineering students who wish to lead a technological innovation project in a company or start or take over a business.

Engineer-entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs are highly sought after today by large companies as well as microbusinesses and SMEs.  

Will you follow in the footsteps of Lucas, Thomas, Bastien, Julien, Paul, and so many others?

A foundation of skills and an entrepreneurial spirit

“Focus on skills,” says Lucas. “If you have a project, you need to specialize in the scientific fields that interest you.” For this student, now in his third year Master of Science Research Master of Science , it was important to combine entrepreneurial experience with developing skills in his field of expertise. Specializing in biomechanics, he was able, as part of the PEIT program, to lead a technological innovation project in a laboratory at the CEA. He spent six months at one of the largest biomechanics laboratories developing the hand of an exoskeleton. He plans to pursue a career in research and entrepreneurship. For him, “entrepreneurship is about skills; it’s a way of life and a way of working.”

Entrepreneurship is about skills, a way of living and working.

Developing an "entrepreneurial spirit" is possible thanks to the PEIT, which offers:

  •  specific teaching, delivered in the form of workshops, seminars, and lectures.
      Depending on your profile, two programs are available:  
    • Innovation & Entrepreneurship Academy" for entrepreneurship project leaders (Program presentation coming soon)
    • "CPi or Innovative Product Creation" for students ready to work on one of the corporate innovation projects thatArts et Métiers offer them. Discover the video presentation of the program.
  • Individualized support/coaching for project leaders within a regional incubator (Arts et Métiers National Pre-incubation Program).

Here is an overview of the working dynamics within our national Arts et Métiers pre-incubation program in the video below.

The PEIT provides free access to highly expensive support services. Engineering students can receive coaching starting in their second year of the Arts et Métiers Grande École Program.

A simple application form 

There are no assignment preferences, but rather a selection process carried out by a committee.

The program begins in the second year of the PGE. Selection and recruitment therefore take place at the end of the first year. 
To this end, first-year students in all regions participate in "awareness-raising" events. 

Motivated students are then invited to submit a specific applicationbefore September 30.
Selection committees interview candidates on each campus at the end of May.  

To apply for this program, download and complete the pre-selection application form.
