Clément Barioz
Master student – Creator of Le Local Piscine
Wastes are a business on any markets where there are still wastes. Intern in a shop specialized in swimming pool materials, I just realized the opportunity to reuse, remake and renew the full range of swimming pool robots and motorized tools. We created L Local Piscine in 2020, with over 200% of growth we are convinced that the second-hand market will emerge as a natural way to equip personal pools. Circular economy is the key on both economic and ecological issues.

Maëlys Piébourg
MASTER’S STUDENT SPECIALIZING IN MANAGEMENT, HUMANITIES AND INNOVATION
I chose this specialization so that I could continue studying philosophy while opening doors to the business world, with the aim of learning to apply philosophical theories and concepts to management.
All the subjects in management and business offer high-quality, demanding classes, taught by excellent teachers, reviewed and developed in depth, and combined with the main philosophical theories.
After my work-study placement at MacAnders, a large Parisian headhunting firm, I would like to work in managerial positions: managing people and being able to draw on my philosophy and psychology classes, as well as my management classes this year, so that I can apply the “management of tomorrow” that we have envisioned!

PhD Ashkan FARAMARZI
PhD in Marketing
We are trying to basically prove why the information and make the students familiar with the international business is really important for the future of these students. Maybe, they are going to work in international companies or they are interested in being entrepreneur and basically doing business with other countries. So, this would be like the basic and the first step for them. There are a lot of potential and opportunities especially because of the current situation of the world, with the inflation and everything after post-covid. And a lot of markets, for example what I’m speaking about, emerging markets, they have opportunities for growth and for doing business which would be very important for the future of Europe if they want to basically avoid any sort of stagnation and recession.
