Innovative projects rewarded at the HEC Challenge + 2021-1 forum

This year, the HEC Challenge+ forum was part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week program, the week that celebrates entrepreneurship around the world. It was an opportunity to showcase the most talented entrepreneurs of the HEC Challenge+ program.

HEC Challenge + Forum

For nine months, entrepreneurs in the HEC Challenge+ program benefit from three days of action training per month to propel their technological or innovative company. The forum is the culmination of this work and an opportunity to make a name for themselves and raise their first funds.

The forum of the class of 2021-1 was held on Tuesday, November 9. It offered the opportunity to the 11 selected entrepreneurs to present their project in front of a jury composed of experts, professors, financiers and partners: Cabinet AFIGEC, Cabinet Taze-Bernard, the CEA, Dassault Systemes, INPI, Schlumberger.

Michel Santi, Professor Emeritus and creator of the program, presided over the jury, which met on the HEC Paris campus after many months of distance learning.

  • The first prize is awarded to the Cellavie project (simple and affordable cell culture machine), led by Julien Maruotti.
  • The second prize is awarded to the Ti Nov project: co-living for people with disabilities. Promoter of inclusion. Project led by Solène Dubois and Mickaël Dubois.
  • The third prize is awarded to the Ethik Hotels project: the first collaborative platform for access to sustainable tourism, led by Anne Chene.
