ENPC Center for Technology & Entrepreneurship (ENPC T&E Center)

In keeping with the ENPC’s long-standing tradition of technological excellence, the International School of Management launched, in January 2004, the ENPC Center for Technology & Entrepreneurship (ENPC T&E Center).

The ENPC T&E Center is directed by the School’s award winning Dean and President, Dr Tawfik Jelassi, who is a leading expert in the area of Information Technology and e-Business Strategy.  His latest book , Strategies for e-Business: Creating Value through Electronic and Mobile Commerce, is a best-selling management text at FT Prentice Hall. The other T&E faculty include experts from ENPC, IMD, Warwick Business School, NYU Stern, GTI - Gestion Technology Innovation Lab (ESCP - EAP), and SPRU (Science and Policy Research Unit).

The ENPC T&E Center has been especially designed for creative people with original ideas and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. The Center organizes a range of educational activities in a dynamic environment that supports personal growth and professional development. Program and events currently include the MBA in Technology & Entrepreneurship and T&E research and consulting projects.

Through research and consulting projects, participants have the opportunity to work as researchers and consultants on short-term professional projects (up to 6 weeks) between January and June.  Under the supervision of T&E faculty, projects are developed in partnership with start-ups and business development units in areas such as biotechnology, artificial intelligence, computer sciences, media, consulting services and nanotechnology.  In past years this has included areas such as strategies for value creation through IT, key management capabilities of entrepreneurial leaders, networked organizations, innovation models, knowledge management, virtual communities, e-government, m-commerce and strategic creativity. Works of exceptional quality are submitted for publication.
