The Concept

Training Tomorrow's Leaders for the AI Era

This summer, The Future Lab comes to Paris for a special edition, designed in partnership with LSE Generate, the incubator of the London School of Economics.

"the UK's top university incubator." — The Financial Times

A 4-day intensive programme, combining a progressive immersion into AI, the creation of concrete tools, and the development of entrepreneurial vision, leadership, and pitching skills — all through a hands-on, deliverables-oriented approach.

Delivered in English, this bootcamp is designed to foster an international network, and participants will receive a certificate of participation from IJSchool X LSE Generate.

By the end of the program, participants don't leave with ideas, they leave with concrete skills, assets and opportunities.

Who Can Join?

The Future Lab is designed for high-potential students, professionals, and project founders who want to challenge their thinking, thrive in an international environment, and accelerate their entrepreneurial journey.

Admission is selective, ensuring a cohort of motivated and ambitious participants, organized into two separate groups: students and professionals.

For professionals, our programme is eligible for funding schemes thanks to our QUALIOPI certification (CPF, OPCO, France Travail).
