MAKE for entrepreneurship
It's quite common for interdisciplinary MAKE projects to impart entrepreneurial skills to students, who are then inspired to embark on entrepreneurial endeavors themselves.
If you are a student with an entrepreneurial spirit, there are different ways to bring your ideas to life at EPFL. With MAKE, we help student entrepreneurs to test their ideas by realizing a first prototype.
Prototyping for startups
Supporting entrepreneurship
The Vice-Presidency for Innovation is proposing different types of support to help students with entrepreneurial ideas.
The MAKE team was very helpful in the development of our prototype. They were able to provide us with the necessary tools and advice to make our project a reality. We are very grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone looking to develop a prototype.

Successful entrepreneurial projects
Here are some examples of entrepreneurial projects that were successfully launched by EPFL students that benefited from the MAKE ecosystem.
Socio-environmental impact
Do you have a sustainable project idea with a social or environmental impact ?
The Vice-Presidency for Responsible Transformation (VPT) launch call for projects twice a year at the
beginning of each semester for any EPFL association with a project in need of funding linked to
environmental or social sustainability can apply.
