Description
École nationale des ponts et chaussées launches the 10th edition of One Night to Innovate together with international partners Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Italy), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) & the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland), from the EELISA European Alliance.
This year, the projects will be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Each project must address at least one of these 17 goals.
This business creation event encourages students to develop their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. It is also an opportunity to enhance their skills: working in small groups, they have one night to develop an innovative proposal addressing challenges linked to themes that are central to the School and its partners.
After a presentation from an entrepreneur, the students take part in a project launch workshop, the first step in a collaborative project under the guidance of experienced professionals. In the early morning, the projects are presented to a panel of judges made up of members of School, alumni who have become entrepreneurs and recognised professionals, who assess their relevance and viability. Prizes will be awarded to the best teams by the Fondation des Ponts and Fondation Singular Planet, as well as Vinci and L’Oréal, partner companies.
The competition is open to École nationale des ponts et chaussées’ students, as well as to students from EELISA’s partner universities and other institutions in the Paris region, whether they are interested in setting up their own business, already have a project in mind or just want to team up in favor of innovation and entrepreneurship.
