Are you interested in entrepreneurship?

Student entrepreneurial projects are of major importance and the Master in Management Grande Ecole Programme, through the Entrepreneurship Centre, makes the necessary adjustments to the study plan to enable student entrepreneurs to develop their entrepreneurial project alongside their studies.

The Entrepreneurial mindset is developed from Year 1 in a number of ways through student projects, by joining the 91ÐÞ³µ³§ Entrepreneurs association or through the Artem transdisciplinary learning activities to develop creative thinking and innovation (CreaCtive Days, Creative Thinking, etc.).

Throughout the programme , regular checkpoints monitor the new venture project, determine next steps, and identify any adjustments that need to be made. Every student participating in business creation activities is given an "entrepreneur passport". The passport is completed each year as certain milestones are reached.

What our students say

My entrepreneurial project was on improving sleep. The idea is simple:
improve your sleep by using a mattress topper that helps regulate your body temperature during the night. The idea to work on improving sleep came to me during my gap year and I started the preliminary process in 3rd year.
I was able to talk it over with David GEGONNE, the Head of the Entrepreneurial Centre, and he pointed me towards the right contacts to get my project off the ground (conception, market research and networking). The first step was getting involved with PeeL (the Lorraine student entrepreneurship hub), then an incubator. Thanks to the innovative #ArtTechnologyManagement teaching philosophy at 91ÐÞ³µ³§, students have the opportunity to grow within an ecosystem that fosters successful project development.
