EPFL Changemakers is a 10-weeks learning program for students to boost their innovation & entrepreneurial skills while turning their idea into a real-life startup project. Our 6th edition will take place from March to May 2023.
As part of the Changemakers program, you will join weekly workshops that will expose you to new ways of thinking for creative problem-solving, while learning practical tools to create innovation. You will challenge yourself, access expertise and insightful resources, and learn from your peers.
During Changemakers, you will:
- Learn entrepreneurial and leadership skills that will be valuable throughout your career
- Build your early-stage idea into a concrete startup project
- Join a community of like-minded people on the same journey as you
- Meet entrepreneurs and get supported by experienced coaches
The program is open to all EPFL Bachelor, Master and PhD students. We welcome exciting ideas from any area and encourage those who aspire to have a significant positive impact on society and/or the environment.
To apply, all you need is an entrepreneurial idea that you wish to develop.
Your success will depend on your own motivation and commitment to the weekly workshops.
