Each year, Pépite Provence invites students from the region to participate in 36h Chrono, a challenge to create a business in 36 almost non-stop hours.
Starting from an idea, transforming it into a business project, innovating as a team, studying the market, calculating profitability, and presenting the project to a jury of 87 professionals—such is the programme of this challenge.
From the first day, Marin Sauzay, Yani Bellal-Hanot, Nael Ouajid and Adam Nasroune, ISMIN students on the Campus Provence, were expected at 8:00 AM for a presentation of the event and its rules. Until noon the following day, they worked to present their project to the jury. Night and day, they brainstormed, innovated, and slept little to push their limits and bring their business to life.
On this subject, Marin shares:
“The 36h Chrono allowed me to discover entrepreneurship while developing various skills such as accounting, creating a business plan, project presentation, and pitching. I also learned about the essential mechanisms and procedures for launching an entrepreneurial project. An enriching experience that pushes your limits and helps you get to know yourself better!”
This 12th edition concluded in style with the awards ceremony. It reminded all participants that anything becomes possible when passionate students and coaches come together.
