The Media House incubator

As part of ESSEC's digital excellence cluster, the Chaire Media & Digital, is dedicated to training media managers and their innovations. THE MEDIA HOUSE incubator benefits from the recognized expertise and know-how of ESSEC Ventures, which has supported nearly 400 companies since its creation in 2000. The incubator also draws on the highly specialized experience of Media Maker, a Grande École du Numérique accredited gas pedal of innovative media projects with high editorial added value. This incubator is designed to encourage the emergence of media that meet society's new needs, by encouraging the younger generation to seize the tools of entrepreneurship and the possibilities offered by new technologies.

The aim of THE MEDIA HOUSE is to provide 6 months of support to start-ups with innovative visions and proposals for the media.

The new THE MEDIA HOUSE incubator offers 360° support from these three complementary players - the ESSEC Media & Digital Chair, ESSEC Venture and MEDIA MAKER - for around ten start-ups a year.

High-level, specialized training provided by Essec and Media Maker, individualized support and access to our partners' networks will ensure the best possible conditions for the long-term success of startups.

Applications are open to all media start-ups. Selection criteria are based on editorial, technological and business model innovation.
