Action Learning Projects

Entrust an innovation project to the students of the Master in Management

The PCE (Projet de Création d'Entreprise or Business Creation Project) is a key pedagogical initiative designed for the 1,300 first-year students of the Grande École Program – Master in Management. Integrated into the ADN courses, this project enables students to explore all stages of creating a business and develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

By participating in this program, students cultivate an entrepreneurial approach that will be invaluable, whether or not they plan to start their own business in the future.

Students can choose between:

  • Developing a business creation project
  • Working on a challenge or project proposed by a partner company – as part of the Business Creation Project Competition

Companies are invited to propose projects that enrich students' learning experience while encouraging innovative thinking and practical solutions to real-world challenges.
