Every year, the Entrepreneurship Awards spotlight graduates of Mines Paris – PSL who are creating and developing meaningful businesses. Two awards were presented:

The Emergence Prize, which rewards a young entrepreneur for his or her innovative project, went to Julie Crémieux (ISIGE 18-19) for her company NeoFarm.

NeoFarm has created a sustainable solution for the production of animal proteins and organic fertilizers, based on the Black Soldier Fly. Based in Dakar, the company valorizes local organic waste by offering an ecological alternative for animal feed, thus contributing to a circular economy in Africa.

The Honorary Prize, which honors an individual who has founded a company with a significant impact over the last ten years, was awarded to Thimothée Rambaud (ICiv00), co-founder of Legalstart

The 1st online legal services platform for VSEs and SMEs, Legalsart was commercially launched in March 2014. The company assists entrepreneurs with their legal, administrative and accounting procedures: setting up a business, registering a trademark, amending articles of association, approving accounts, hiring an employee or even closing a business. The platform enables micro, small and medium-sized businesses to deposit capital, open a business bank account, take out insurance or choose a mutual insurance company, and has assisted over 750,000 entrepreneurs since its launch.

The evening was an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, discover inspiring stories and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that drives Mines Paris – PSL and its alumni, with the ambition of inspiring young talent.

The winner received  10,000 euros to support the development of her entrepreneurial project. Congratulations on her contribution!
