The partnership aims to connect researchers, student entrepreneurs, managers and business developers with a view of generating more companies.
Satt Sud-Est, the regional tech transfer organisation for institutions in the southeast of France, today inked a partnership with Skema Business School to bolster entrepreneurial activities.
The program will bring together researchers, student entrepreneurs, managers and business developers. It will operate for three years.
Skema will invite its students to work on projects provided by Satt Sud-Est, enabling students to conduct analyses of maturing or matured technologies, carry out market research and identify economic opportunities.
The two partners hope this collaboration will lead to more scientist-entrepreneurs and help generate companies.
Satt Sud-Est will provide technical and technological advice on startups launched by students and alumni, and the organisation will join the Skema Venture Factory platform, a network of appraisers for student startups.
Skema has additionally launched Skema Ventures, an initiative to stimulate an entrepreneurial spirit among its students that will guide them through setting up their venture.
Skema Ventures will allow students to design, test and launch a project that can be piloted in a global context, thanks to the business school’s local campus in Sophia Antipolis as well as its locations in Paris and Lille, Raleigh in the US, Suzhou in China and Belo Horizonte in Brazil.
