ICD Business School Shines in the UNIMEV Student Challenges 2025 Final
On March 6, 2025, Espot Paris hosted the 8th edition of the UNIMEV Student Challenges final. This annual event highlights emerging talents in the event industry, providing students with a platform to showcase their creativity and ingenuity.
Introduction to UNIMEV and the Student Challenges
UNIMEV, the French Union of Event Professions, is an organization dedicated to promoting and developing the event industry in France. Every year, it organizes the Student Challenges, a competition that brings together students from various schools to tackle real-world challenges proposed by partner companies. The goal is to enable participants to offer innovative solutions while fostering exchanges between young talents and industry professionals.
The 2025 Final: A High-Level Competition
This year, five institutions competed in the final:
- ICD Business School
- ISEFAC Lille
- ISEFAC Paris
- Excelia La Rochelle
- IUT de Saint-Denis
Students worked on briefs proposed by companies such as COMEXPOSIUM, La Rochelle Tourisme et Événements, Leads France, Deliverbag, and UNIMEV. This edition’s theme was inspired by Japan, reflecting the values of Bushido: loyalty, courage, and honor. These values were brilliantly embodied by the participants throughout the competition.
