Ystart: 5 projects selected for the incubator's first cohort

The Ystart incubator, born from the partnership between UNYRA and Ynov Campus, reaches a decisive milestone with the selection of its first cohort of incubated projects.

30 Applications, 5 Projects Selected

The call for projects launched across the Ynov ecosystem met with notable success: 30 project leaders submitted their applications. A figure that speaks to the entrepreneurial appetite of students and the relevance of the program.

A pitch session was held on October 16, during which candidates presented their projects before a jury. At the end of this selection process, 5 projects were chosen to join Ystart's first cohort.

A Comprehensive Incubation Program

Selected projects will benefit from structured support including:

• Mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs.
• Access to UNYRA's technological tools, notably MYCO, the AI that detects synergies between projects.
• Networking with the entire UNYRA and Ynov ecosystem.
• Visibility within the community and among partners.

National Ambition

The goal doesn't stop at this first cohort. UNYRA and Ynov share an ambition: scaling Ystart nationwide. With an ecosystem of 15,000 students spread across Ynov campuses throughout France, the potential for talent discovery and support is considerable.

Ystart is a full-scale laboratory for testing UNYRA's DNA and solutions within a student environment. Lessons learned from this first cohort will feed into deployment across other campuses.
