Our Philosophy
SOCIAL INNOVATION
Our entrepreneurs are as
passionate as they are
committed, and they pay
particular attention to
the economic, social, and
environmental effects of their
projects.
COLLABORATION
More than just a program, the
Blue Factory is a collective
adventure. We invite you to grow
in the spirit of sharing, mutual aid,
and co-acceleration.
COMMUNITY
The community of ESCP Europe,
together with its students,
teachers, professors, alumni,
and ChaireEEE partners, work
together to provide support for
Blue Factory entrepreneurs.
EUROPE
Paris, Madrid, Berlin, London,
Turin, Warsaw: Europe is our
playground.
