EDHEC Entrepreneurs, a lever for accelerating innovative projects

 

EDHEC Entrepreneurs offers a platform of excellence enabling startups to propel their development, thanks to three specialized incubation programs:

  • TechForward (Sophia Antipolis) : accelerate innovation in AI, deep tech and new technologies.
  • Generalist incubator (STATION F) : supports a wide range of startups adopting a responsible approach, at the heart of Europe's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
  • Impact incubator (STATION F) : helps startups with a strong social or environmental impact to amplify their mission. 

By offering access to mentoring, a network of funders and a vast community of sector experts, EDHEC Entrepreneurs enables founders to overcome challenges and turn their vision into reality.

 

GENERATIONS powered by EDHEC, the power of impact investing

 

Thanks to the GENERATIONS powered by EDHEC fund initiated in partnership with Ring Capital, EDHEC supports high-impact projects such as Orus Energy (Future 40 2024).

Orus Energy's software automates the shifting of energy loads away from carbon peaks, boosting grid resilience while helping users reduce their carbon footprint.

The presence of these eight startups in the Future 40 reflects the strength of EDHEC's entrepreneurial program. With over 3,000 hours of dedicated courses, entrepreneurship is integrated into all academic programs. At the same time, programs such as pre-incubation enable students to launch their projects during their studies, before moving on to our incubation programs, accelerating the growth of over 70 start-ups a year. Our incubation programs, as well as our GENERATIONS investment fund, are also accessible to external entrepreneurs who are not EDHEC graduates, fostering an open and inclusive ecosystem.

 

Whether you're an EDHEC student or an entrepreneur (EDHEC or not), our pre-incubation and incubation programs offer you human, personalized support to turn your ideas into concrete projects.
