The actions of the Institut Télécom to assist the creation of new businesses are incorporated within an environment of networks and partnerships formed both locally and internationally, in a variety of fields (financial, educational, etc.)

A network system

Through its participation in various networks, the Institut Télécom facilitates access to outside expertise for project leaders, if this expertise cannot be found internally. Third parties (consultants, temporary personnel, etc.) supply their business start-up experience or a specific response on an advanced subject, such as taxation, civil law or social affairs. Former students associations make a valuable contribution, particularly when it comes to sharing experiences, tutoring business heads, finding funding and, more generally, links with industry. The Institut Télécom’s relationships with the other Grandes écoles (Ecoles des Mines, etc.) and Universities – both French and international - (UTC, UPC Barcelona, Politecnico di Torino, Durham Business School, USTEB, AGH, Sherbrooke University in Quebec, etc.) allow the sharing of knowledge and experience in this field, and even the setting up of common tools. GET’s activities are also carried out in liaison with other research centers and organisations for innovation and business creation (ANVAR, APCE, etc.).
