The Entrepreneurship Award
Every year, the ICN Endowment Fund hosts a major gala dedicated to student entrepreneurship. The event takes place on the Paris La Défense campus, at the heart of Europe’s leading economic hub. It is a symbolic venue for celebrating our students’ boldness and entrepreneurial spirit.
This year, four student entrepreneurs were honored. Among them is Léo BRICE, a first-year student in Master in Management. He is currently taking a gap year to focus on developing his project.
And this project is moving quickly. It already has two employees and is generating revenue! Léo shares his journey with sincerity:
“Since I was 15, I’ve launched numerous entrepreneurial projects. Not all of them were successful.
These failures never held me back. On the contrary, they strengthened my resilience. For me, it’s all part of the learning process. By entering the Entrepreneurship Award at ICN, I wanted to show that these lessons lead to success. That’s exactly what happened. I’m very happy because, beyond the project itself, it’s my perseverance and self-confidence that have been rewarded.”
His story perfectly embodies the values of entrepreneurship at ICN: commitment, resilience, and ambition.
