M2 Business and Market Economics | Business Start-Up Course (CE)

The main objective of the Enterprise Creation Pathway (CE) of the Master's Degree in Business and Market Economics is to provide training in the skills required at all stages of the creation, development and maturity of the business project. It thus enables students to acquire the entrepreneurial qualities essential to any project development. They combine a spirit of initiative, engineering and adaptability so that competitive economic dynamics can be seen as an opportunity rather than a handicap. The EC-type pathway aims to develop the entrepreneurial spirit in diversified individual career paths and in an increasingly complex institutional environment.

This diploma also deploys a field of skills on the evaluation of the company to encourage the transfer of a business or to support a takeover project. This field of expertise extends to the treatment of the legal risks to which the entrepreneur is exposed.

At the end of this course, the student will be able to :

• Design a Business Model (business idea)
• Elaborate a feasibility study
• Demonstrate the financial viability of the entrepreneurial project
• Developing new activities
• Carry out a strategic approach of the Business Plan (elevator pitch)
