Student entrepreneurship and exploitation of research results in Southern France: Student entrepreneurship and exploitation of research results in Southern France

While the “Région SUD Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur” has been awarded the European label "European Entrepreneurship Region" (2021 and 2022) by the Committee of European Regions, it aimed to collect the vision of experts to challenge its action and to consider potential optimization.

Also, this peer review was an occasion to learn about actions developed by foreign student entrepreneurship programs (good practices exchange).

The first day of the meeting was dedicated to a comprehensive presentation of the relevant policies and actors in the Région Sud. Many regional stakeholders, such as incubators and technology transfer organisations attended the meeting and exchanged with the peers.

The second day was dedicated more specifically to the development of recommendations and concrete proposals for actions based on the experiences of the peers and the policies in place in their home regions and organisations.
