On May 26 at 1:00 PM, discover The Gen E, RSB’s new entrepreneurial support structure

Rennes School of Business is launching The Gen E, its new entrepreneurial incubator, during a dedicated webinar to be held on May 26, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

In the face of rapid changes in the economy and career paths, entrepreneurship is now emerging as a pathway to the future. With its new incubator, The Gen E, Rennes School of Business is fully embracing this momentum.

Designed as an independent support structure, The Gen E is aimed at a broad audience: students outside RSB, recent graduates, professionals, idea holders, career changers, and individuals already involved in a project.

A new generation of entrepreneurs on the move

Long perceived as a lengthy process requiring years of preparation, entrepreneurship is now undergoing a profound transformation. New generations are adopting a more direct, agile, and experimental approach.

The figures reflect this shift: 25% of students plan to start a business immediately after graduation, while 56% of 16–29-year-olds want to create several companies during their lifetime. At the same time, more and more professionals are launching entrepreneurial ventures after a first career, including after the age of 45.

This transformation reflects a new way of doing business: testing quickly, learning by doing, and continuously adapting.

The Gen E: an ecosystem for entrepreneurship

With The Gen E, Rennes School of Business offers much more than a programme: it provides a true entrepreneurial ecosystem. Its ambition is clear: to turn intention into concrete projects.

Here, the traditional logic is reversed: the goal is no longer to prepare to become an entrepreneur, but rather to learn through entrepreneurship itself. Participants are encouraged to create, test, adjust, and start again in a stimulating environment.

This incubator brings together a multidisciplinary community of students, recent graduates, entrepreneurs, executives, coaches, and experts from a wide range of fields including business, engineering, design, and healthcare. This diversity encourages exchanges, the sharing of ideas, and the emergence of innovative projects.

An incubator open to all

Located within a dynamic economic and scientific ecosystem, The Gen E connects entrepreneurs, companies, and researchers to foster the emergence of high-impact projects.

This initiative builds on Rennes School of Business’s long-standing entrepreneurial commitment, with significant results: 168 entrepreneurs supported in 2025, 1,276 entrepreneurial Alumni, and €217 million raised. The School is also ranked No. 1 in France for its rate of student entrepreneurs (L’Étudiant, 2023).

With The Gen E, a structured approach across three levels

The Gen E supports you wherever you are in your project journey through a progressive pathway.

Three different support tracks, one shared vision to move forward together.

  • Explore: discover entrepreneurship and take your first steps
  • Evolve: structure your project and take action with dedicated support
  • Expand: accelerate your growth in a demanding environment

A webinar to take action

This webinar will give participants the opportunity to discover the The Gen E ecosystem in detail, its support methods, and the opportunities available to turn an entrepreneurial project into reality.
