Created in 2009, The Entrepreneurial Garden (TEG), BSB's space dedicated to entrepreneurship, is a Center for Expertise and Innovation in Entrepreneurship. Located in the heart of TEG,BSB incubator accompanies its student entrepreneurs through a process adapted to the particularities of each of them, which is carried out in two phases: pre-incubation and incubation.
Within the incubator, BSB students benefit from the advice of experts and teacher-researchers throughout their creation process. They are supported on legal and accounting aspects, trained in the practice of pitching and guided in their search for financing.
Numerous events are also organized to facilitate meetings and exchanges with the School's network of partners.

“BSB Start-Up Studio” was launched in 2020 and eight students who completed their educational mission at the School's incubator were able to benefit from a grant.
Donor words
Close to BSB for many years, it seemed coherent and relevant to me to be present at the BSB Foundation to support the School's incubator and guide young generations in their entrepreneurial ascent.

We therefore have a new ambitious dimension with our donations to the Foundation: that of giving a boost to these young people who want to push their entrepreneurial projects forward.
Think of your donations as the way you offer a young person to do their internship in entrepreneurship!

Being able to offer talented and motivated young students the chance to give life to their idea through trust, financial assistance, mentoring or networking so that they can reach their goals and embark more peacefully on the wonderful adventure of entrepreneurship is essential for me.
When I joined the BSB Foundation in early 2020, it was obvious to invest in the Foundation's entrepreneurship component to support the actions developed by the BSB incubator teams.

Beneficiary testimonies
After a year and a half spent on a gap year and a half abroad, I decided to join the master's degree in Entrepreneurship and SME Management, in order to carry out a business project that had been germinating in my head since the summer. This semester was an opportunity to learn the first entrepreneurial concepts and to join the BSB incubator where Claire Maugras is of capital help. The entrepreneurial grant, granted by the BSB Foundation, was the trigger for Teepark. Indeed, this grant made it possible to bring confidence to the project, but also to launch the first steps in order to move from the idea to the concrete.
Thanks to the BSB Foundation, which allowed me to finance part of my Master 2, I was able to focus on my Serious Gaming Corporation entrepreneurial project, with which I aim to be an actor in the gamification of our society. This involves fun and educational professional training using board games as a medium, support in the use of “Serious Games”, which allow companies and institutions to increase their skills, as well as through the development of tools. innovative communication always around board games.
The BSB Foundation allowed me to develop my Smart&Sparkle entrepreneurial project. My project consists in marketing stainless steel bottles, capable of creating sparkling water according to the user's convenience.Smart&Sparkle is the small pleasure of the day, the possibility of having a personalized drink anytime and anywhere during the day, while respecting the environment and limiting plastic waste.Thanks to the Incubator grant I can focus 100% on my project and finance my living expenses and facilitate its progress. It is a unique opportunity, which allows any entrepreneur to believe in their project.
Student projects with a positive impact
BSB students are full of inventiveness and desire, and the BSB Foundation wishes to be able to support them in their seeking funding for their projects with a positive impact (humanitarian, societal, environmental, etc.), cultural, or sporting.
These student initiatives may be supported by a recognized Student Association or by a collective student proposal.
In addition to the support offered by the DAP Department (Personal Development and Support) of BSB, the Foundation provides logistical and/or financial support in their sponsorship procedures (cash, skills, nature and calls for projects from Corporate Foundations).
In 2022, the BSB Foundation partnered with The student and solidarity association Owl For You On the occasion of the international solidarity movement Giving Tuesday around a challenge aimed at collecting as much food and hygiene products as possible.
