The association Réseau Entreprendre Piemonte, in cooperation with the Turin campus of ESCP Business School and with the impulse and support of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, has launched a new call for applications addressed to non-profit organisations, companies and start-ups to participate in the Collective Projects 2024/2025.
The new edition of the Collective Projects initiative was created with the aim of bringing third sector organisations, start-ups and SMEs together in an open innovation project aimed at contaminating different systems.
Those selected to take part in the Collective Projects will have access to ESCP's international network, and will have a team of 6 or 7 students - highly motivated and eager to put themselves through challenges that test their knowledge and skills - for a total of 240 hours of work, in order to develop a business project in one of the six areas of interest: Marketing, Internationalisation, Fundraising, Knowledge Management, Business Development or Sustainability.
Third-sector organisations, start-ups and companies will have the opportunity to work with a young team of students who, as dedicated consultants in the development of a concrete project, will provide insights from their international background and be able to experiment with new business solutions, fostering their scalability on the market. The Collective Projects represent an opportunity for the institutions/companies involved for talent acquisition and, at the same time, career development for the students.
The Collective Projects will take place between October 2024 and March 2025, and will involve around 330 students of more than 40 different nationalities enrolled in the second year of the ESCP Bachelor in Management, divided into 60 teams. The project will be conducted in English language. Each company should identify a representative to accompany the students for the duration of the project.
Interested companies, institutions and start-ups can apply until September 30, 2024 by filling out the application form available at this link.
For more information on the initiative, the full regulation is available online (in Italian language).
