Bringing together business and engineering minds to foster the startups of tomorrow: that's the ambition of Mix & Match, an event co-organized by 21st by CentraleSupélec and ESSEC Business School. A look back at the 9th edition, which united student and entrepreneurial communities from several major Greater Paris region schools.

This past April 1st, the ESSEC Alumni House hosted the 9th edition of Mix & Match, an evening co-organized by 21st by CentraleSupélec and ESSEC Business School. The event, which has become a key gathering for the student and entrepreneurial communities of both schools, aims to create synergies between complementary profiles and foster the emergence of new startups from their respective ecosystems.

The objective is simple: to bring together business and engineering professionals, two profiles whose complementary nature often sparks the most successful entrepreneurial ventures. By combining talents, Mix & Match creates the ideal conditions for the formation of future co-founder duos and the emergence of shared success stories between the two schools.

Over 90 participants attended this new edition, bringing together students and entrepreneurs from CentraleSupélec, ESSEC, AgroParisTech, École 42, CY École de Design, and Université Paris-Saclay. This diversity of profiles and backgrounds fueled the evening's vibrant energy and fostered connections between future partners.

See you for the 10th edition at the end of the year.
