2026 Incubator Grants: The BSB Foundation supports 6 student entrepreneurs
The BSB Foundation supports student entrepreneurship through its Incubator grants
Last May, the first 2026 committee meeting was held for the BSB Foundation Incubator grants, in partnership with the school's incubator, the BSB Entrepreneurial Garden Incubator. This initiative aims to support student entrepreneurs at the Burgundy School of Business in developing their innovative projects.
Gathered for the occasion, the jury members and program sponsors reviewed several promising applications. Among them were directors from the BSB Foundation, BFC Angels, Crédit Agricole Champagne-Bourgogne and the Village by CA Champagne Bourgogne, all committed to fostering innovation and student entrepreneurship.
Rigorous criteria to support the most promising projects
The grants were awarded based on three evaluation criteria:
- The candidate's social criteria
- Their academic background
- The quality of the entrepreneurial project presented, its potential impact, its long-term viability, as well as the quality of the pitch and the interaction with the jury
Following the deliberations, the BSB Foundation awarded 6 grants totaling €13,000, enabling several pre-incubated or incubated students to accelerate the development of their business thanks to the support of our sponsors BFC Angels, Crédit Agricole Champagne-Bourgogne, and Hôtels Bourgogne Qualité.
