This is an interesting one: Master Class by Karine Safa at Ecole Polytechnique “How the golden age of renaissance inspires today’s entrepreneurs?”

The “Technology Venture Master Program” at Ecole Polytechnique – in partnership with the Direction for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (our incubator and accelerator) at Ecole Polytechnique, as well as with the student association “Cabinet Startup”  – organises a series of such Master Classes.

The next Master Class is happening on February 12, 2017, at 18h00 in the Drahi-X-Novation Center of l’Ecole Polytechnique.

Access is open to everybody, but as there’s limited seating (and this promises to be an exciting event), registration is necessary, on this link.

The speaker, Karine Safa, will challenge us with a talk entitled “How the golden age of renaissance inspires today’s entrepreneurs?”

Karine starts from the observation that no era was more imaginative than the renaissance – and, then, asks and analyses how that can inspire us today, in the age of Data Science, and artificial intelligence.
