The National Status Etudiant Entrepreneur, is accessible everywhere in France in one of the 29 PEPITE (Student Pole for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship) and it allows you to build and develop an entrepreneurial project as a student, whatever the entrepreneurial approach (individual, collective, economic and / or social purpose, innovative or not, technological or not, with creation of activities or takeover of business or other legal structure) .

It is the PEPITE's Commitment Committee which is responsible for processing applications for the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. It is composed of the representatives of the PEPITE institutions, the pedagogical director of the Student-Entrepreneur Institution (D2E) and the PEPITE partners (support and funding structures, entrepreneurs, etc.).

L’Ecole de design Nantes Atlantique was invited in June 2018 to lead a discussion with the representatives of PEPITE FRANCE and PEPITE in the region to project PEPITE 2030. This workshop highlights the challenges associated with supporting students from one of the reference poles in Europe.

Based on the experience of the PEPITE and from a user journey, imagine the PEPITE in 2030:

What improvements are possible? What tools and services to deploy? What kind of links & networks?

The workshop helped to work on prospective scenarios, but also introduced participants to the design thinking methodologies.
