Record participation

Proud. You can rightly be proud of belonging to an alumni community that encourages its champions, propels its entrepreneurs and supports diversity within the School. This community is yours, the EDHEC community of talents.

Launched during the EDHEC Rendez-Vous event on 5 June, this novel crowdfunding campaign ended with excellent results on 20 July. Thanks to your donations, two of the projects are now set to reach fruition!Caroline Pailloux (GE 2005), our entrepreneur incubated by the EYE, will now be able to develop Ignition Program, her project for creating and training new entrepreneurs. As for our student, Pierre Soron (MiM 2016), he can now continue his studies without any worries thanks to the scholarship funded by the network.

In view of the enthusiasm generated by our athlete Reina-Flor Okori (EDHEC BBA 2015) during her participation in EDHEC Rendez-Vous, her sporting project will soon be re-proposed for crowdfunding. Your messages of encouragement and massive participation in the campaign (80% of funds collected) reinforce our desire to give Reina-Flor another chance. We cannot imagine the French athletics team or the EDHEC community having to forego this champion and her medal chances at the next Olympics in 2016.

This first "made in EDHEC" crowdfunding operation triggered a hitherto-unrivalled wave of generosity in our community. The 600 participants at the Paris EDHEC Rendez-vous , together with the EDHEC Alumni association, numerous donors and more, all underlined what makes our network so strong: it’s sense of solidarity!
