Empowering Intrapreneurship Through AI and Impact-Driven Learning

📌 The Scenario

Since 2023, Urone has been working with a French institution known for integrating hands-on corporate engagement into its curriculum. With many students balancing academic studies and company immersion, the school sought to introduce a course that would bridge business innovation, AI, and real-world impact.
