🚀 The 2025 Deeptech Entrepreneurship Course kicked-off !
For the fourth consecutive year, we offer this very applied #deeptech Entrepreneurship course at ESCP Business School! Designed and co-created by Martin Kupp, Professor of entrepreneurship and strategy at ESCP and co-founder of Renaissance Fusion, and Vincent Galand, Adj. Professor at ESCP, this innovative course bridges science, technology and #entrepreneurship to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.
Over the next 10 weeks, ESCP students will collaborate with deeptech entrepreneurs to address real business challenges in fields like #digitalhealth, #climateTech 🌍 #spaceTech & #advancedMaterials. Our students will work hand in hand with deeptech projects to help them cross the valley of death, identify and prioritise market opportunities, validate problem spaces and develop business models. This unique course is designed to empower the next generation of leaders with the tools and mindset to navigate the complexities of deeptech.
