Entrepreneurship and Innovative Projects - 264 - Master's Year 2

The Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovative Projects is designed for those who wish to launch a venture, support entrepreneurs (e.g. C-level roles, program managers, innovation space coordinators), or drive innovative projects within a responsible and sustainable economic framework.
This track is not limited to future entrepreneurs: the entrepreneurial ecosystem — constantly evolving — requires skilled professionals to tackle strategic challenges such as incubation, acceleration, intrapreneurship, funding, and business model transformation. Business creation is not only an economic engine, but also a key lever in addressing societal and environmental challenges.

The first year of the Master’s program is offered exclusively as a full-time program, with the possibility of a gap year before entering the second year of the Master’s program in September 2025.
