[Entrepreneurship] First pitch session for INCUBACT’HER 🚀
The 1st pitch session for INCUBACT’HER, the new business incubator at the EPF Engineering School that promotes student and female entrepreneurship, was successfully held.
The 7 teams each had 5 minutes to convince the jury to be incubated and supported by the EPF on the Paris-Cachan campus. The projects presented were inspiring and diverse, testifying to the creativity and commitment of the students.
The second phase of this process begins now: how the school can meet their specific needs to help them turn their ideas into reality! 🎯
Congratulations to all the participants! 👏
Spotlight on the projects presented:• We dough, led by Emma Pinon: an ultra-gourmet concept and a unique taste experience around raw cookie dough! 🍪
