Hugo Allary and Ladislas Fontaine

On March 13, 2018, six companies, all represented by IÉSEG alumni and students, presented their entrepreneurial projects to a jury of experts in the final stage of the 2018 IÉSEG Entrepreneur competition*.

Following a conference about different kinds of support available to entrepreneurs, and the keys to success in developing one’s own start-up, the jury announced the results of the third edition of this prize:

• The Caisse d’Epargne Hauts de France, partner of the IÉSEG Incubator, presented the 2018 IÉSEG entrepreneur prize (8,000 euros) to Hugo Allary (class of 2011) for his project IPaidThat. This start-up helps aggregate accounting documents automatically through Machine Learning (invoices, expense receipts, etc.)
• IÉSEG Network, the School’s alumni association, presented the special prize (3,000 euros) to Ladislas Fontaine (an IÉSEG student) for his project Eclo. This start-up’s mission is to make edible insects accessible to help eradicate malnutrition in Africa.

Rendez-vous next year for the next edition of the prize!

*The IÉSEG entrepreneur prize is a competition available only to IÉSEG students and alumni. It is organized jointly by IÉSEG Network, the IÉSEG alumni association and the IÉSEG Incubator.
