In a committed and inspiring approach, Emma Lisoir (left) and Angélique Gillet (right)—members of our research team—recently participated in an immersive InnovStart(H)er training session dedicated to entrepreneurship. https://www.toulouse-tech-transfer.com/fr/actualites-et-evenements/innovstarther By choosing to step outside their comfort zone, they demonstrated boldness and determination, driven by a desire to better understand the world of business creation and all the challenges surrounding it. With a startup project in mind, they took on the challenge of pitching their idea every day, leading up to the final presentation before a jury of experts including Alexandra Bertron, Director of INSA Toulouse, Odile Rauzy, President of the University of Toulouse, and Patrick Cazeneuve, President of Toulouse Tech Transfer. Beyond the intense learning experience—from market insights to intellectual property—this training was marked by inspiring testimonies from female business founders and a strong desire to highlight the role of women in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their curiosity and commitment were recognized with awards presented at the end of the session: startup project with a high environmental impact and investment-ready project. Through their initiative, they serve as a reminder that entrepreneurship has no gender and that women are fully entitled to play their part in it.
