Student entrepreneurial projects-Effective realization by INSCAE and its partners

Fundamental to INSCAE is that it continues innovating. Faced with that situation and in order to contribute to the realization of the dream of many of its students: "to create innovative economic models to participate in the economic growth of the country", INSCAE, in collaboration with INSCAE Junior Company association, has been organizing a contest called “3i” or INSCAE Innovation Idea. On 28^th February, 2018, the ceremony announcing the results of the second edition of this contest for the best projects was held at the amphitheater of INSCAE during which the first prize was awarded to the SOA MADERA team, whose project consists in setting up a semi-industrial unit for transforming agricultural products into ethanol. Under certain condition of their own investments, the financial partners have pledged to support the promoters more closely in carrying out their projects. INSCAE and its partners, by capitalizing on the achievements of the first two editions, plan to perpetuate this initiative. Thus, “To set up a business incubator within INSCAE and to further promote entrepreneurship in the university, the organization of the third edition, with more efforts in communication and operationalization of projects, is already engaged, "said the officials at the institute.
