Educating future entrepreneurs & change makers

 

Too many ambitious people who want to make a difference, either through their own company, a social enterprise or through an existing organisation, end up working for someone else, following orders, building a traditional career but not reaching their full potential.

 

Join us at the SEED Entrepreneurship Majeur Programme to get the opportunity to fulfil this promise: we value resilience and ‘street smarts’ over intelligence, concrete outcomes over grades, competencies over exams and practise over theory. What makes SEED so unique is that you get to do all this within a traditional educational programme, a pathway that also leads you to graduation.

 

We’ll give you a framework, coaching, an ecosystem and a location to work within, but it is up to you to make the best of the time, support and connections that we provide. We treat you as an entrepreneur from the first day.

 

 

 

What's in it for you?

 

• An internship in your own growth company

• Your own office within the IMT Starter Incubator (campus Evry)

• A chance to develop a start-up idea with your cohort

• 1 week a month Bootcamp to upskill your entrepreneurial self and develop your concept

• Mentoring from accomplished entrepreneurs

• Attending ecosystem events and site visits

• Participate in hack-a-thons and urban challenges

• Digital / digitisation focus 

 

 

How does it work?

The entire programme runs over 12 months. Each month looks like this: 

•  3 weeks within the IMT Starter incubator developing your own company, and

•  1 week in class seminars, workshops and bootcamps

The programme starts in September 2020 and runs until June 2021. You will be full time working within the IMT Starter at the IMTBS Evry campus (when you are not out acquiring customers!).   

Experience: 

•  Motivational guest lectures from industry

•  Learn by doing: Working on practical projects

•  Self- and team-learning

•  Networking and ecosystem building opportunities

•  Combination of the latest practice, tools, methods and theory

•  Opportunities to develop your English

'IMT Starter is closely linked to the major SEED. It trains students to entrepreneurship and put them in a condition to be able to test their ideas and projects during 1 year. Courses take place in the incubator where students also have their offices. The objective is that they can take advantage of this launching pad to start their company in the incubator following their year at SEED'
