Fostering Academic-Industry Collaboration and Enhancing Business Education in the Age of Innovation
For new graduates, VivaTech is more than just a platform to witness the advancements made by industry giants like Google, L'Oréal, and Meta. It also presents an unparalleled opportunity to explore emerging startups that offer fresh perspectives and potential job prospects in various fields. The event provides a unique experience where students and alumni can draw inspiration from these companies, fostering creativity and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Moreover, the networking opportunities at VivaTech enable students to engage in thought-provoking conversations with bright-minded professionals, further expanding their horizons.
I felt quite lucky to be a CEMS student during the event. An event of this scale is not something that is easy to get tickets for but as a CEMS student it was quite simple. The fact that CEMS offers its network such opportunities is very helpful for people looking for a career in tech industry as this is probably the best place to build connections and learn about projects in the horizon. - Tolga Kýrkalý , CEMS Student Board Representative of Turkey and Koç University Graduate School of Business
The partnership between CEMS and VivaTech plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between academia and the startup/tech world. The partnership not only underscores the growing significance of technology and innovation in business education but also enhances the learning experience for CEMS students. By providing them with direct access to groundbreaking ideas and disruptive innovations, CEMS empowers its students to become future leaders who can navigate the complex interplay between technology and business. At CEMS we encourage our students and alumni to participate in this vibrant ecosystem, gaining exposure to new technologies, entrepreneurship, and innovation. By facilitating connections with industry professionals, the CEMS - Viva Tech collaboration helps foster a deeper understanding of the ever-evolving business landscape and prepares students for the challenges of the digital age.
The large number of different startups available, the quality of speakers, and the exhibitions made viva tech match and exceeded my initial expectations! The event was well-organised and vibrant. On top of this, the CEMS organised meet up with the Vivatech CEMSies was a great addition to the event. I got to meet many CEMSies and this made the weekend even more fun. says Melanie Haket, President of the CEMS Club Budapest at Corvinus University of Budapest
With this partnership, CEMS is positioning itself at the forefront of business education, equipping its students with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the ever-evolving world of technology and entrepreneurship.
