Description

The course will focus on real-life cases.  Students will work in groups of 3 to 4 people, on real projects submitted by the participants. Before the course, each participant is asked to think about a topic or an idea that he/she would like to explore further. It can be a real business creation project or an idea that the student would like to explore further.

Each participant will present his/her idea in 2 minutes maximum to the whole group during the Ice-Breaker session that will take place during the first morning of the session. Each student will have to choose the project they want to work on to form teams of 3 or 4 people (not all projects can be worked on during the course).

  • Raise awareness of a specific posture and questioning in terms of innovation.
  • Transfer skills in the management of innovative projects
  • Co-design a strategy for bringing ideas to market.
