École nationale des ponts et chaussées and EELISA European University proudly present the 10th edition of "One Night to Innovate"!
This initiative is designed to foster entrepreneurship by encouraging students to unleash their creativity and innovative potential. Participants will collaborate in small teams to develop an original project within a single night, which will be showcased to a jury of esteemed members from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, EELISA, and experienced entrepreneurs the following morning.
This year, all projects will focus on the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations, with each team required to tackle at least one of these issues. Explore the goals here.
Students will gain insights from successful entrepreneurs' experiences before engaging in a project initiation workshop, marking the beginning of their collaborative journey under the mentorship of skilled professionals. The culmination of their efforts will be presented to a jury comprising the School’s leadership, successful alumni, and industry experts, who will evaluate the significance and feasibility of each project. The best teams will receive prizes from the Fondation des Ponts, Singular Planet Foundation, and two affiliated corporations!
This competition is accessible to the students of École nationale des ponts et chaussées, other higher education institutions in Île-de-France, and affiliated students of EELISA. It is suitable for those with a strong interest in entrepreneurship, those who have a project idea, and those who are still exploring their options.
Spaces are limited.
