Minor DeepTech Entrepreneurship

​​In the last few years, the public and private sectors have been heavily investing in innovative projects by stimulating ecosystems that generate innovations. In this context, disruptive innovations come mainly from scientific research. Considering that highly technological projects are the probable basis for a new cycle of significant growth, generating employment and economic sustainability, it seems relevant to densify exchanges between the worlds of research and business. 
​The challenge we wish to take up here is to contribute to this dynamic by training managers to be capable of evolving in uncertain and changing technological environment. The deeptech innovative projects are logically particularly risky, as they last over a long period of time, with often unidentified markets, and require heavy investments. These projects require specific knowledge and skills to emerge, raise money and grow. The purpose of this courses is to train managers able to understand and deal with this complex world and these new issues. 
​The purpose of this program is to introduce the participants to the world of entrepreneurship, increase entrepreneurial spirit without distinction of discipline. 
​A focus is given on Deeptech (or deepscience) in order to address the most complex challenges and the newest issues related to entrepreneurship.​
