Entrepreneurship: the School's strategic focus
At NEOMA Business School, innovation is more than just a word. It's a genuine state of mind that we share with our students, our graduates and our entire community.
Our Business Incubators reflect the intent to be part of a movement, to sail a sea of possibilities, and give life to your aims and ambitions. It is a real venture in which we are happy to accompany budding entrepreneurs on their road to success.

Testimonials
Testimonial of Axel GUIDICELLI (PGE 2017), Co-founder of Ulysse.
“NEOMA Incubators supported us from the start of our project through to the first round of seed capital (1.3 million in 2019). Network support and sharing allowed us to move forward quickly in our project even though our sector of activity is extremely competitive. Today Ulysse is operating at full speed and we do not intend to stop there. Our ambition is to offer the simplest solution in the world for booking airline tickets. "
