On Tuesday June 27th, the Mixer received the student entrepreneurs from the Paris-Dauphine University accompanied by the D-Start programme for their end of term Demo-Day. The Paris-Dauphine University had previously accompanied Transaction Connect, a startup from the Season 2 of UR Link, the acceleration programme of Unibail-Rodamco.
The D-Start programme was born in 2015 and aims at accompanying and raising awareness around entrepreneurial projects driven by students and future graduates of the Paris-Dauphine University. More broadly speaking, its goal is to promote and federate the entrepreneurial spirit of the university.
As part of the programme, projects are selected every year in September after a call for applications, and accompanied for an entire year, the objective being to take students from ideas to concrete actions. During the year, many resources are made available through thematic workshops and experienced mentors for each project.
The Demo-Day that took place this week was a pitch competition, giving the students the opportunity to present their projects to a jury of experts, in a creative and innovative environment: the Mixer.
Every week, the Mixer, the innovation hub and coworking space at the heart of Unibail-Rodamco’s headquarters, welcomes thematic events such as D-Start’s Demo-Day, around digitalisation of retail, architecture and collaboration with startups.
