A unique system to support entrepreneurship at Dauphine.
The House of Entrepreneurship coordinates, supports and promotes entrepreneurship in all its forms: creation or acceleration, company takeover, family entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship, start-ups or social entrepreneurship.
Due to its in-depth knowledge of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the House of Entrepreneurship represents a springboard for project development and promotion in four areas:
- Training: entrepreneurship courses, instructional innovations and collaborations with entrepreneurs;
- Entrepreneurship awareness: events and actions of student associations;
- Support: incubation and mentoring;
- Research: guidance to researchers leading creation projects
Université Paris Dauphine – PSL provides a number of resources for entrepreneurship or for getting to know more about it.
Training courses, an incubator that has been running for over a decade, associations, conferences, workshops and round-table sessions, events to try out your business idea and find a partner (Startup Weekends, Pitch & Meet sessions, etc.), a mentoring scheme that draws on Dauphine’s alumni, and much more.
Initial training and executive education
Many of Dauphine’s courses and programs put entrepreneurship at the heart of the curriculum, preparing students for careers as entrepreneurs.
