OUR MISSION
Develop, structure, and implement an innovative project with a significant impact

In the face of environmental, social, and economic changes, engineers and executives are called upon to design new models that balance performance, innovation, and responsibility. The “Entreprendre & Innover pour les Transitions” (Empr&intes) program aims to train professionals capable of conceiving, structuring, and implementing innovative projects with a positive impact.

What sets this program apart is its training-and-action approach: beyond simply acquiring skills, each participant receives guidance to develop a concrete, structured, and viable project directly linked to the challenges of these transitions and to the region’s
innovation ecosystem.

Thus, Empr&inte does more than simply impart knowledge: the program fosters impactful projects that are then led and developed by its participants, whether they are entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial in nature.
