Jean-Baptiste Say Entrepreneurship Festival 2021 (London Summer Edition)

To honour Jean-Baptiste Say, one of the founders of ESCP and the person who coined the term entrepreneur, we are delighted to celebrate the 10th edition of the Jean-Baptiste Say Entrepreneurship Festival welcomed by the ESCP Blue Factory, Jean Baptiste Say Institute and ESCP Alumni Association. 

The Blue Factory is our European incubator that supports founders - students and graduates - from ideation to the international development of their company. The 2021 Entrepreneurship Festival will represent the ongoing effort of the London community for this great project. 

Following our two successful online editions last May and November, and in line with COVID-19 safety measures, this event will also take place online. As such, the theme for this year's Festival is ‘Entrepreneurship for a Sustainable Future’.

Hosted by Prof. Davide Sola and Prof. Christian Linder, the vision of this event is to unite students, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors and potential customers to exchange ideas and learn from each other.

This summer edition is run as part of the ESCP MSc in Marketing & Creativity (currently placed 5th worldwide in the September 2020 QS World University Ranking) and MSc in Marketing & Digital Media specialisations.
