Hi FACCNE members and friends,
That's a wrap! 2019 has been an excellent year again for FACCNE. We organized 28 events: it's almost 3 events per month as July and August are traditionally very quiet. On top of it, we took under our wings
180 students ranking from Bachelors to Executive MBA who flew to the US to discover Boston's eco-system
. So in total, we managed to get together nearly 2000 people! That's a lot of connections and potential opportunities for all of you. That's what makes us proud!
Speaking of enabling connections, please mark your calendars and save the date for these major upcoming events in 2020:
We are looking forward to an exciting year 2020 and we wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season with your loved ones!
All the best,
The FACCNE Team

Learning Expedition for EM Lyon
|
More than 180 students of Masters programs from the
Business School EM Lyon
flew over to Boston for an intensive week of learning. We took 45 students under our wings to help them
discover how and why Boston remains a privileged spot to innovate and create value.
They had the chance to visit prodigious institutions as well as attend conferences about entrepreneurship, discover many start-ups, start-up accelerators, robotics and of course get deeper into “data science” and “digital marketing".
We take this opportunity to thank our speakers and Board members who took their time to present their businesses and share their personal journey. Thanks also to FACCNE's members for opening their doors and securing venues for these students.
