Presentation

Despite the strong social and economic demand for innovative and technological business creation, and the support of public policies (Lauvergeon Report 2013), "the proportion of engineers working in a company they had created or taken over is between 5% ande or taken over is between 5% and 6%, and this specific group of entrepreneurs represents around 2% of all French entrepreneurs" (Résultats Enquêtes 2006-2009 du Conseil National des Ingénieurs et Scientifiques de France (CNISF) quoted by Wang Y., 2010, ref infra).

Acclaimed for its high capacity to create jobs and wealth, exports and growth, and more broadly for its ability to improve the quality of the economic and industrial fabric, entrepreneurship is now an integral part of the training missions entrusted to engineering schools (Fayolle, 2006, 1996 ; Gaujard et al., 2009 cited by Wang, 2010).

By making it a strategic priority (IES Program -Innovate, Entreprendre, Serve-, launch of a new Advanced Entrepreneurship and Innovation Course in the Specializationcialité Agriculture at the start of the 2014 academic year, the founding with UPJV and UTC of a PePite -Pôle étudiant Picard pour l'innovation, technology transfer and entrepreneurship accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Productive Redress, etc.), theInstitut has chosen to place itself at the heart of its issues, to raise awareness, specialize and support engineers' entrepreneurial spirit and intent.

The Club Pro' is a cross-disciplinary initiative covering all the Institute's engineering training specialties:

• Networking, exchanging ideas, methodologies and areas of knowledge to be explored, as a source of inspiration and experience transfer.
• Share entrepreneurial values and best practices, and get to know support structures

Passing on to the younger generation, future engineers and young graduates a taste for entrepreneurship and encouraging innovation (whether technological or not).
