EDHEC MBA on a global business trip to Silicon Valley

One of the core strength of EDHEC MBA is the global business trip to two of the booming economies in the world focusing on the real world knowhow.

January Intake students from this year were recently taken to Silicon Valley to cultivate their entrepreneurship and leadership skills with Emmanuel Metais (Director of EDHEC MBA) and Pierre d'Huy (Director of International Programs).

The group was accommodated at the campus of Stanford University and the during the full four days of intensive and power packed schedule the students attended a number of conferences and seminars on entrepreneurship and got the chance to speak to the established entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley.

Day 1 was fully loaded with visit to successful startups like Clinovo, Plug and Play Tech Center and Trinet where the CEO’s of these companies presented the challenges faced by them along with the vital knowledge and experience in developing these companies 
Day 2 the group visited companies like Bambino Avenue, Apple Store, Daily Motion, Tesla Motors and Nonobject. This was again a long day with great experience gained in the MNC’s like Daily motion.
Day 3 started with a great session with General Partner of Sofinova Ventures. The day was followed by visit to Google, L’Atelier and Parisoma.
Day 4 was the day for Bay Area Solution, Intel Museum, Crosslink Capital and some shopping.
Overall the whole of week was pretty well designed and innovated to meet the needs of everyone in the group as an entrepreneur. The whole week motivated and challenged the thinking of the students to do something special for their own as an entrepreneur. Many of the students commented that Silicon Valley is the heaven for new companies focused on IT and Technology.
