Beyond the great pedagogical and human qualities of the speaker, who was able to demystify financial management tools, I particularly appreciated the exciting and enlightening day at the Station F incubator, where we met professionals from investment funds and start-ups, players across the entire value chain, for a real-life perspective of the theoretical courses of the previous days as well as frank discussions about the respective activities of the participants
