Supporting student innovation means preparing the businesses of tomorrow.
Mines Saint-Étienne, with the support of the IMT Foundation, is launching the MINOV grant, designed to financially support student entrepreneurs during the crucial development phase of their project.
With funding of up to 10,000 euros, this grant is intended for students who have obtained or are in the process of applying for the National Student-Entrepreneur Status (SNEE). It will enable them to transform their idea into a prototype, develop a proof of concept, and accelerate their market access.
Applications opened on March 3 and will close on April 15, with project selection on April 23 by a committee of experts from Mines Saint-Étienne and its partners.
This initiative strengthens the School’s commitment to entrepreneurship and complements the support provided by the TEAM incubator. A tremendous opportunity for students wishing to embark on an entrepreneurial journey with confidence!
Marie Breziski, head of the TEAM incubator at the Aix-Marseille Provence campus, emphasizes the importance of this financial support: “Launching a startup as a student is an ambitious challenge. Thanks to the MINOV grant, we enable our young entrepreneurs to fully focus on innovation without having to bear the initial expenses alone.”
This initiative will further boost the School’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, by offering students the concrete means to structure their project and maximize its chances of success.
