Student-entrepreneur

ENSAE Paris supports student entrepreneurship and the spirit of innovation. To this end, a student-entrepreneur referent has been appointed at the school to support students in their thinking and implementation of their projects, in association with the PEIPS and IP Paris teams. Indeed, ENSAE Paris is associated with the PEIPS program, a network of young entrepreneurs in the Paris-Saclay region, which supports students in their entrepreneurial projects. What's more, student-entrepreneurs can also benefit from IP Paris' technological and innovative ecosystem, with its events and competitions promoting innovation and the participation of engineers in the technological, economic and environmental challenges facing our society.

Student-entrepreneur status, with Pépite France

Students at ENSAE Paris have the opportunity to follow a student-entrepreneur path during their studies, or even after graduation, as part of the PEIPS program, a network of young entrepreneurs in the Paris-Saclay region.

Each student-entrepreneur is selected after presenting his or her project, and has the opportunity to attend various workshops dedicated to entrepreneurial tools (marketing/communication, business plan, etc.). Numerous events are organized throughout the program via the Pépite PEIPS and associated socio-economic players (student-entrepreneur day, pitch competition, etc.).
