We named the event after the founder of our university, Jean-Baptiste Say, who also coined the term ‘Entrepreneur’.
Our vision is to unite students, entrepreneurs, investors and potential customers in order to exchange ideas and learn from each other.

We have 12 teams of Master students that were asked to identify opportunities in the market and then develop a product. In a fair-like environment, the students will present their ideas to potential customers, professional investors, entrepreneurs and executives which then have to evaluate each group by completing a short feedback form.
This will be followed by a Keynote address at 4pm in the main amphitheatre. The theme will be ‘How to turn an opportunity into a firm’.
Then at 5pm we will have a panel discussion where 4-5 entrepreneurs and executives (intrapreneurs) will debate around the question ‘How can we increase the likelihood of success of an innovation’. This will be followed by an Award Ceremony and Networking Drinks.
