We had been waiting for the results since the regional Pépite Award ceremony in Marseille, and they are in: Alexandre Chalin, a third-year ISMIN student, won the national award with his Blue Smart Robotics project.

The ceremony was hosted by Alain ASQUIN (National Coordinator of the Entrepreneurial Spirit Plan & DGRI Advisor for PariSanté Campus) and Yacine KABECHE (CEO of Circul’Egg and AgroParisTech Alumnus), who emphasized the boldness of entrepreneurship at a young age and the importance of having support throughout this journey.

Alexandre has indeed been supported through the guidance of our School’s TEAM incubator. Since last year, TEAM has been supporting Alexandre Chalin so that Blue Smart Robotics can achieve its goal of providing glider pilots with simple, cutting-edge technological solutions, allowing them to focus on what matters most: flying.

We congratulate this student entrepreneur who continues to achieve success (Alexandre had already won the IMT entrepreneurial competition “Up to Start”) and is a source of pride for the Aix-Marseille-Provence Campus and Mines Saint-Etienne.
