Highlights

The Business Game ” company strategy “.

This seminar, which usually takes place in April, is one of the highlights of the school for the students.

Close to the end of their school career, it is the moment to measure their operational side and their capacity to mobilize the knowledge acquired throughout the past 3 years.

This week-long seminar is open to both Bachelor and Master students. The students will work in the form of an executive team that will have to report on a situation at the end of each day. The role of each student in this CODIR is evolving every day.

A team of coaches and graders will accompany them throughout the seminar.

Disagreements, compromises and consensus will spice up this seminar.

The MyStartUp project

The MyStartUp project will run throughout the 3rd year. The students will, in groups of 4, put forward their entrepreneurial skills by creating a fictitious company.

The steps of MyStartUp are both parts oriented towards studies (market studies, field studies), but also very operational elements such as the creation of a business plan, a brand, a graphic charter. The management/HR, finance and communication components complete this project.

Throughout the project, coaches are assigned to the different groups. Finally, the final presentation will be made before a jury that will play the role of investors and will validate both the content of the file, but also the ability of the group to defend this project as a team.
