"IEF was like an oxygen bubble through my entrepreneur journey. It helps step back, meet new people, reconnect with old friends and investors, offer the opportunity to present my company to a wider audience, share all this with my team, all this in the wonderful Fontainebleau campus, in the work hard and play hard atmosphere that is so dear to me. A huge thank you for the team who organised. It was close to 200% perfection."

"The IEF provided an extraordinary mix of useful information and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs at all stages in their careers. The presentations, such as Artificial Intelligence, were state-of-the-art connections to pros and cons, with meaningful real-life examples. There was time for meaningful interactions with abroad spectrum of successful entrepreneurs, funders and experts in many industries."

"The IEF gave me a lift up: great content, relevant contacts, all in a relaxed while studious atmosphere. The fact of belonging to INSEAD had already broken the ice and made discussions immediately useful. It was very easy to meet lots of new people and, as always, the international mix of INSEAD was totally unique! It felt like family."

"A very stimulating alumni gathering bringing together super energizing fresh startups and experienced serial entrepreneurs and investors. Great opportunity to meet INSEAD members of the startup ecosystem"
