École nationale des ponts et chaussées and EELISA European University launch the 10th edition of "One Night to Innovate"!
This event, aimed at introducing entrepreneurship, encourages students to develop their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. The concept is simple: by working in small groups, students have one night to create an innovative project. These projects are presented in the morning to a jury composed of members from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, the European university EELISA, and entrepreneurs.
This year, the projects will be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Each project must address at least one of these goals. https://sdgs.un.org/goals
After listening to entrepreneurs' testimonies, students will participate in a project kick-off workshop, the starting point of a collaborative effort under the guidance of experienced professionals. The projects will then be presented between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM in front of a jury composed of the School’s management, alumni who have become entrepreneurs, and recognized professionals who will assess the relevance and viability of the projects. Prizes will be awarded by the Fondation des Ponts, the Singular Planet Foundation, as well as two partner companies, to the best teams!
This challenge is open to students of the École nationale des ponts et chaussées, as well as students from other higher education institutions in the Île-de-France region and the European university EELISA, whether they are interested in entrepreneurship, already have a project in mind, or are in a discovery phase.
Limited spots available.
