XL Entrepreneur… how Excelia continues to develop its role in supporting companies and entrepreneurs in its local regions.
Impact innovation
With an ecosystem firmly focussed on innovation, Excelia continues to confirm its rightful position as a training ground for entrepreneurs who are committed to high-impact innovation… innovation that is crucial to the evolution of our world. Ever sensitive to the carbon footprint of humans and the impact of their actions, Excelia strives to build a better world for the people within the local regions. This mindset is at the heart of our mission and is evident in all our programmes. To support our entrepreneurs, right from the initial idea stage to the creation of a company, and even to help accelerate the development of new responsible businesses, Excelia now relies on its Entrepreneurship Coordinator, David Merieau, and on all those stakeholders associated with high-impact innovation.

From idea to business creation
Specialised training
Excelia offers excellent study programmes specialising in entrepreneurship.
The MSc in Entrepreneurship (equivalent to 5 years of post-High School education) offers tailor-made support to candidates with an entrepreneurial project and to those involved in innovation.
The first semester of Year 4 of the Master in Management offers students the opportunity to choose between 4 specialisations, including entrepreneurship.
MORE ABOUT THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT
The objective of these specialisations and of the XL Entrepreneur initiative is to prepare students to become entrepreneurs, whether to create or take over a company, or to become a manager. Students are therefore trained to be able to work in a wide range of professions using practical operational tools that are employed within companies.
They also have the possibility of studying for the D2E – Diplôme universitaire Étudiant-Entrepreneur, enabling them to obtain the national status of student-entrepreneur with the development of an entrepreneurial project. It ensures that they can successfully carry out their project with a maximum of assurance and visibility.
