��É�ʱ��շ� Provence represents the Student Cluster for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship in the Bouches-du-Rhône and Vaucluse regions.

Created in 2014, its ambition is to SENSITIZE, TRAIN and ACCOMPANY students and young graduates in the construction of their entrepreneurial project. It is also a facilitator of key encounters to promote professional integration. Numerous events organized by the cluster reinforce these synergies. Each year, following commitment committees, applicants have the opportunity to join the class of student-entrepreneurs via a status. The National Status of Student-Entrepreneur can lead to a degree, depending on the path chosen. Support is personalized. Over the years, ��É�ʱ��շ� Provence has built up and strengthened its professional network through a dense and dynamic local ecosystem.

1. Introducing ��É�ʱ��շ� Provence

The ��É�ʱ��շ� Provence entrepreneurship cluster offers students, teacher-researchers and administrative staff of all levels and disciplines the opportunity to discover entrepreneurship, develop new skills and build a business idea or project during their studies, through a shared annual program of events, facilities and training.

��É�ʱ��շ� Provence is a consortium led by Aix-�鶹tv and comprising the following institutions: Université d'Avignon, Sciences Po Aix, École Centrale de Marseille, École Nationale Supérieur des Arts et Métiers, École des Mines de Saint Étienne and the Rectorat d'Aix Marseille. The network of correspondents and referents at each establishment provides students with local information and advice right at their place of study.

The Pôle Entreprendre aims to

Provide information on entrepreneurship
Raise awareness of this path to professional integration
Train students in entrepreneurial project methodology
Accompany, support and promote students wishing to develop an idea, a project or a business.

Why set up the Pôle Entreprendre?

The Pôle Entreprendre is the result of a desire to build a university policy linked to entrepreneurship in order to :

Facilitate students'professional integration by revealing and developing their talents. Entrepreneurship and innovation are powerful vectors of professional integration for graduates, enabling them to acquire essential skills for their future professional lives. Our ambition is that every student should at least be made aware of entrepreneurship, and that they should also benefit, if they so wish, from appropriate training to develop their project from conception to completion.
Contribute to the dynamism of the economic fabric by enriching it with skills related to autonomy, innovation, decision-making and leadership. In the medium term, the aim is to encourage more entrepreneurial initiatives in the Southern Region and Vaucluse, in favor of student entrepreneurship.

2. Main missions of ��É�ʱ��շ� Provence
