POLYTECH'INNOV, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge - End of February
Every year, Polytech Marseille organizes an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge for its 1st-year engineering students: the aim is to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of engineering students and stimulate their creativity around innovative business projects based on a theme.
In 2024, the theme chosen was "Marseille". This week-long activity is included in the new curriculum for accredited courses following the 2022 CTI audit, and is subject to grading. It is supported by Pépite Provence (a scheme to promote student entrepreneurship).
Accompanied by professionals from partner companies, coaches and Polytech Marseille graduates, the engineering students (an entire class, all specialties combined, on a single Polytech site) devise technological solutions in inter-specialty teams. They then prepare pitches and defend their projects before juries of experts and professionals.
Date of the 2025 edition: February 24 to 28.
Polytech Innovation and Entrepreneurship ChallengeWhether you're a professional, a Polytech graduate, a coach or a partner of the school, there are several ways in which you can take part in this activity !
It's an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in the life of our school, to be in contact with the student engineers and to gain employer brand visibility for an entire class of future engineers.You could be involved in :
- support students in setting up their projects
- assess the technical feasibility of their innovation
- advise students on how to present their project
- share your knowledge of a market, technology or sector
- take part in selection panels for the best projects
