Participants have the option to specialize in various tracks, such as Technology (in partnership with Le Wagon), Entrepreneurship, and Consulting.

Consulting Project with a company

For those aiming to excel in consulting or corporate strategy, the Consulting Capstone Project offers an invaluable opportunity to work directly with a business to address real-world challenges. This project immerses students in a holistic approach to organizational performance improvement, requiring them to assess a company’s strategic choices and analyze specific operational issues. Throughout the experience, participants apply critical and analytical thinking to deliver innovative solutions. By the end of the project, students will have honed their ability to generate actionable recommendations and drive measurable value for the organization, while reinforcing their consultancy skills in a professional setting.

Technology project with Le Wagon

Designed for those interested in the convergence of business and technology, the Technology Capstone allows participants to deepen their expertise in tech-driven business solutions. In partnership with Le Wagon, a world-renowned tech school, students engage in an immersive experience that includes hands-on learning with cutting-edge technologies. Following coursework, participants join Le Wagon’s tech environment to develop and launch an applied technology project, guided by experts. This project culminates in a product pitch to industry professionals, providing invaluable feedback and highlighting participants’ capabilities in tech integration and management. The Technology Capstone is ideal for those aspiring to become leaders who bridge business strategy with technological innovation.

Entrepreneurial Project with the IÉSEG Incubator

For aspiring entrepreneurs, the Entrepreneurial Capstone Project is an opportunity to develop launchpad for new ventures or the development of existing businesses. Participants can work on business ideas that matter to them, integrating knowledge acquired in class in real-world entrepreneurial efforts. This experience is supported by the IÉSEG Incubator, which provides access to expert mentorship, professional networks, and resources to refine their business concepts. Students engage in the School’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, participating in workshops, networking events, and practical sessions that cultivate entrepreneurial skills and strategic thinking. This capstone empowers participants to bring their ideas to life, making it an ideal pathway for those looking to drive innovation and create new ventures.

Professional Thesis with an Academic Advisor

For participants with a passion for research, the Professional Thesis offers an opportunity to delve deeply into a business topic of personal interest. This capstone focuses on academic rigor and involves problem-based research guided by a faculty advisor with expertise in the chosen domain. Participants conduct a comprehensive investigation, from literature review to data collection and analysis, resulting in a substantive written thesis. Through this project, students not only advance their knowledge in a specialized field but also demonstrate their ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical business challenges. The Professional Thesis pathway is especially suited for those interested in academia or roles that require in-depth expertise.

The flexibility in specialization allows participants not only to enhance their business acumen but also develop critical skills in problem-solving, innovation, and strategic thinking.
