  • with professors onsite and abroad: Bernard Sinclair-Desgagné, professor of economics and corporate social responsibility, and Philippe Chereau, professor in strategy and entrepreneurship 

  • Lectures and presentations by local guest speakers on the topics of US business environment, innovation, leadership, and artificial intelligence 

  • Visits of local companies with a focus on technology and innovation: Pryon, Raleigh Founded, Bandwidth Inc., Red Hat, Cellectis, bioMérieux, RiotLabs, and North Carolina State University Centennial Campus, where SKEMA is located 

  • Activities to immerse students in US culture, including the North Carolina Museum of History, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, as well as a hockey game.
