EDHEC is stepping up its engagement with entrepreneurship by joining Station F, the world’s biggest international start-up campus, set up by Xavier Niel and based in the centre of Paris. The project received decisive support from EDHEC alumni donors and will bolster the resources of the EDHEC Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) incubator.

1 July 2017 will see the EDHEC Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) incubator expand through the provision of 40 additional work stations housed in Station F, the only start-up campus that gathers together a whole entrepreneurial ecosystem under one roof.

This co-working space will be devoted to EYE laureates in the acceleration and/or fundraising stages and to entrepreneurs originating from EDHEC’s MSc in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. The programme comprises themed workshops, personalised support (fundraisings), pitch sessions, entrepreneurs’ cafés, co-design workshops and more.

This strategic project with Station F was primarily led to fruition by a group of EDHEC alumni donors eager to facilitate access to this highly selective ecosystem for EDHEC entrepreneurs.

The alumni included: David Armstrong, Pierre Barbé, Michael Burke, Vincent Cheney, Anne-Laure et Damien Gros, Jacques Guers, Stéphane Lagut, Philippe Léopold-Metzger, Sophie et Hervé Touchais.
