Programme overview
Ranked among the top 10 entrepreneurial programs (Forbes 2020)
Experience launching an innovative business with start-up creators or learn the core skills to join a fast growing start-up or scale-up
Entrepreneurship and small & medium businesses are becoming major economic driving forces representing close to 50% of GDP in most OECD countries. Some, like Reid Hoffman or Naval Ravikant, have even predicted that traditional employment may end in the coming decades. They think that in
the future there are chances that most of us will be working for ourselves.
Even if you don’t want to launch your company just now, having an entrepreneurial mindset is very valuable within innovative organisations, especially within start-ups and scale-ups. These companies which are constantly launching new initiatives now represent 10-20 % of the recruitments of young executives in France and many other countries.
But to discover entrepreneurial opportunities requires not just knowledge: you need the cognitive abilities to value and exploit that knowledge. Do not get left behind, join us if you want to think forward and shine right from the start of your entrepreneurial career
