Michelin Campus Innovation

Would you like to compete in an innovation challenge against students from other schools (ESCP, CentraleSupélec, Ecole des Mines, Ponts et Chaussées, Insa Lyon, etc) and win a prize worth 1500 €/person?

This is your chance!

We have partnered with Michelin (you might know this company from car tyres or from their famous restaurant guides, but they do many other things), because they need your brain power!

Michelin Campus Innovation invites teams from schools to come up with ideas for 1 out of 3 important challenges that Michelin is currently facing. We are confident that ESSEC students can come up with some of the best solutions, and so we are recruiting teams (and team members) to participate in the Challenge!

Each team consists of 3 students. You can either apply as a team, or by yourself, and we'll team you up with others. 

After a first briefing session to all ESSEC teams, you have 3 weeks to come up with ideas and prototypes that you will pitch back to Michelin. Michelin will then select two teams per school that can represent ESSEC at the inter school finals in January, where a gastronomical evening will be organized for the selected teams.

(watch this video of last year's finals)

The entire pre-selection cycle will be held online, only the finals are in person in Paris.

Teams can present in English in the pre-selection cycle, but the finals will be in French. Having at least one French speaking team-member is necessary.

If you are up for the challenge, please register by 6 November here:
