Become a student entrepreneur with the SNEE
Whether you are a student or a recent graduate, whether your idea is innovative or not, develop and launch your project with the National Student-Entrepreneur Status (SNEE) and the Pépite Entrepreneuriat Campus Aquitaine (ECA)!
If you have a disability or are affected by a disabling health condition, you can benefit from adjustments adapted to your needs once you have obtained the SNEE.

Available across France through one of the 33 Pépite (Pôle Étudiant Pour l’Innovation le Transfert et l’Entrepreneuriat) the SNEE allows eligible project leaders to build and develop their projects while benefiting from support, regardless of the type of entrepreneurial approach (individual, collective, with an economic and/or social purpose, innovative or not, technological or not, with creation or takeover of activity).

Frequently Asked Questions
about the SNEE
Who can apply, steps to obtain the status, duration… find all the answers to your questions!
NO. Access to the Pépite program is free for student entrepreneurs who have obtained their SNEE (National Student Economic Development Certificate) following their participation in the engagement committee. This status is valid for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal. The D2E, like any university degree, is subject to registration fees (fees may be covered for scholarship students).
YES. The Pépite centers welcome and inform anyone interested in starting or taking over a business, but they only provide personalized and individual support to those who have the National Student-Entrepreneur Status. Students who have obtained their SNEE also have access to workspaces made available to them, as well as workshops and sessions with experts to assist them in the project development.
YES. Each person submits their individual application for the National Student-Entrepreneur Status and indicates on this application that they are part of a project team. The applications will thus be processed simultaneously by the Pépite to ensure that the same treatment is given to each members of the team.
