«Masterclasses CY Transfer The STARTHESE label is a very rewarding program that allows you to acquire new knowledge, develop new skills and improve self-confidence." »

Thanks to the masterclasses, she:

  • Discover the foundations of innovation (intellectual property...)
  • Developed its pitch skills
  • Trusted in contact with experts

« It was after my pitch against a jury that I won the prize. But it was above all the exchanges that led me to believe more in the usefulness of my work for society. »
