Labex in details

Presentation

The LabEx Entreprendre 

The LabEx Entreprendre was created in 2011, during the first wave of the call for projects. It was ranked A by the international jury.

It is a collaborative project that brings together some 200 researchers from six research teams in Law, Economics and Management, conducting research on entrepreneurship and innovation in relation to sustainable development issues.

As the only LabEx dedicated to entrepreneurship, Entreprendre is strongly integrated into a dense network of academic and institutional partners, ensuring the excellence of its work in research, training and development. It is one of the 6 LabEx of the I-SITE Montpellier Université d’Excellence (MUSE).

Objectives / Missions

Its activities are carried out within the framework of research programs (within which knowledge is produced) and chairs (in charge of disseminating and valorizing this knowledge).

In the field of training, LabEx Entreprendre pursues an active policy of training in research and through research by financing doctoral contracts, as well as study and research engineer positions. It also supports some fifteen master’s degrees in law, economics and management, and offers executive training (seminars, Executive MBA, MOOC).

As far as valorization is concerned, LabEx Entreprendre is a committed player in the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the local and national levels: participation in ministerial working groups, parliamentary missions, assistance in the creation of academic spin-offs, support for several dozen student-entrepreneurs, organization of and participation in several hundred conferences for entrepreneurship and innovation professionals, etc.

Jean-Marie Courrent, director of the Labex since February 2018, is a professor in entrepreneurship and SME management at the Montpellier Management Institute (University of Montpellier).

      Implementation of the Open Innovation platform: Digital Startup Challenge

      Winner of the Disrupt Campus call for projects in 2017 (bpifrance and ANR), Digital Startup challenge is an innovative collaborative educational device designed around an open innovation platform to bring a digital experience to teams of students from all types of university courses (law, management, medical, scientific, architecture, letters…) or engineering schools. Its objective is also to accompany all types of organizations (public, associations…) and companies (start-ups, SMEs, large groups) facing digital transformation issues. In an open innovation approach, the latter propose a challenge to which the students must respond, in teams. This training method allows for experiential learning. Confronted with real problems, students can empirically test the theoretical concepts they have acquired and observe the practices at work in the structures.

      Presentation

      We are a team of researchers. We share the same values and the same vision of marketing.
      We think with companies, associations and other organizations to implement together innovative actions in terms of responsible marketing and management, for the well-being of society.

       

      Our mission

      Our mission is to promote exchanges between the researchers of the Chair, students, companies and organizations interested in our research themes (marketing and responsible management, affective reactions and well-being, standards…). To do this, we rely on the results of our barometer of responsible behavior (MARÉSONresponsable).

        OBJECTIVES

          UM I-Lab by MOMA is an incubator for student entrepreneurs and young graduates from the MUSE area who have a project to create or take over a company. It is a place of exchange and training, accelerating skills and generating ideas.

          Located in a place conducive to learning, the Richter BU, the UM I-Lab by MOMA incubator is a lively place where project leaders can meet, exchange ideas and welcome “resource persons”. Young entrepreneurs will have access to a co-working space, meeting rooms, training rooms, etc.

          UM I-Lab by WOAgri is at the heart of the ecosystem, mobilizing all the private and public players likely to encourage the growth of start-ups, an incubation program is proposed to help young entrepreneurs to realize their project to create or take over a company.
