Project : 250h00 Total duration: 250	Status	Period Semester 9	Teaching language : French

General objectives
At the end of this program, students will be able to apply creativity, ideation, and innovation methods to address real-world business challenges. With an appropriate approach, students will be able to identify innovation opportunities, formulate relevant solutions, and develop a strategy to transform these ideas into potentially feasible projects. Students will also develop skills in communicating innovative ideas through pitching, demonstrator prototyping, and working with collective intelligence.

Students will also develop skills in communicating innovative ideas through pitching, demonstrator prototyping, and working with collective intelligence.

Content
Students work in teams on three real projects proposed by partner companies. The course alternates between creativity sessions, ideation workshops, and time spent confronting the needs of companies. Supervised by external speakers (experts in innovation strategy, experts in digital communication, experts in HMI (Human Machine Interface) and Page Langing (internet domain for communication and online business), students learn to explore original avenues, structure their ideas and build an innovation strategy. The emphasis is placed on the approach, more than on the technical solution chosen: students do not develop the technical aspects (mechanical design, computer design, materials, energies, etc.) but focus on proposing a strategic and inspiring vision for the company. The alternation between business project and expert interventions allows students to progress in a measured and supervised manner.

Corequis
This program is designed for curious students, ready to think outside the box and challenge the obvious. You don't need to be a technical expert: you just need to be eager to imagine, propose, collaborate, and convince. Previous experience in team projects is recommended, as is an interest in contemporary innovation issues.
