Introduction of the training 

The training starts with an immersive business creation game which allows students to understand and experiment the different steps of an entrepreneurial project. 

Courses allow students to obtain basic notions in the creation of a company (marketing, communication, commercial strategy, business model, intellectual property, company law etc.) in order to apply them to their project, during workshops and individual meetings. 
This training is offered by the CELSA, a communication school, member of the “Conférence des Grandes Ecoles”, which allows students to benefit from solid trainings and advice, specifically in marketing and communication. Regarding double degrees, the entrepreneurship student can obtain the authorization to substitute his or her mandatory internship in order to have working times dedicated to the development of his or her entrepreneurship project (if the training director gives his or her agreement).
