Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a driving force at ÉTS and extends far beyond business creation. It is also one of the four pillars of our 2025-2030 strategic plan. It embodies a mindset and a culture that permeate our programs, student clubs, research initiatives, and industry collaborations. It shapes leaders, stimulates innovation, and accelerates social and economic transformation. By integrating this entrepreneurial culture into all our activities, we empower our community to experiment, create, and take bold action.
At ÉTS, entrepreneurship includes:
- intrapreneurship;
- business acquisition and succession;
- the creation of impact-driven businesses;
- technological innovation.
Our goal is to promote the development of widely-sought entrepreneurial skills: creativity, initiative, collaboration, problem-solving, and the ability to turn ideas into action.
