The purpose of this course is to participate in the Startech project, which is a competition for startup projects.
The competition is run in groups of students. Each group must propose a startup idea and develop it during the year. In order to develop the idea, the student must show his ability to meet the right people: potential customers, potential competitors, potential investors. An important part of the project therefore consists in the development of didactic presentations of the idea as well as the development of a serious business plan.
Student teams are supported and supervised by coaches who specialize in the creation of start-ups
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The student will have developed essential soft skills needed for the creation of a startup.
- development of relevant presentations
- ability to present an idea to potential investors or customers
- ability to develop a business plan

Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
One weekly session with the coaches and need to "get out of the building" in between the sessions to have the idea evolve.
A final presentation in May is organized.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
3 criteria:
- the grade given by the coaches
- a written report submitted three days before the final presentation
- the grades from the jury at the final presentation.
