Let's invent the future together.
- Paris is at the center of a technological and entrepreneurial movement, and France is considered one of the most interesting destinations in Europe for start-ups. This year, the ICSB Academy will allow participants to discover the French entrepreneurial ecosystem including visits to OECD and Station F, the biggest incubator in the world.
- This July, you will be able to discuss with policy makers, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and a leading faculty, to find the answers to the challenges of tomorrow’s society. You will find inspiration at the discussions, as it was at the Belle Epoque, when technological, scientific, and cultural innovations emerged in Paris and the arts flourished.
This year, all teams will be competing for the ICSB Academy Cup.
Academy participants will be forming teams and be assigned a mentor to form a formidable team. The teams will then prepare a business pitch to be judged by an independent judging panel on Friday, July 16th.
