NEOMA BS START UP, a company creation competition for students organised jointly by POTENTIEL (Reims Champagne-Ardenne Student Entrepreneurship Hub) and NEOMA Business School, took place on our Reims campus on 19 - 20 March, for the fourth consecutive year.

57 students from de NEOMA BS, the University of Reims, the Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design – ESAD and from Sup Info took part in this entrepreneurial challenge.

Accompanied by a team of NEOMA BS professors, they discussed two topics related to the Champagne industry for 24 hours nonstop, and came up with their own innovative project.

Then they presented their projects to a jury made up of expert entrepreneurship professionals, actors in innovation and representatives from higher education, who selected the two finalists.  The two teams still in the running will present their concept to a second jury on 2 April, during the 18th edition of INNOVACT, the European start-up Forum.

The winning students will have the opportunity, if they wish, to bring their project to life with the help of the NEOMA Business School incubator in Reims.
