It allows you to transform your ideas into a startup, while benefiting from the unique ecosystem of the school and the 21st by CentraleSupélec incubator.
And even if you don't have a project or an idea, you can join the program to gain experience, develop your entrepreneurial mindset, overcome your obstacles, or team up with another project leader.

The CS+E program immerses you in all stages of business creation:
- Identifying a market and an opportunity
- Developing a prototype and an MVP
- Building a business model and a financial plan

Thematic courses and masterclasses complement this program, with concrete focuses such as: choosing co-founders, launching a DeepTech, attracting global VCs, or creating an industrial sector in France.
