In 2017, Matrice is École 42’s entrepreneurship and innovation program. It lasts 10 months and teaches École 42 students the skills to start a business in the cultural sector. The “Matrice Art & Numérique” connected the French Ministry of Culture (DGCA) with students from École 42, ENSAD (École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) and ENSAPC (École nationale supérieure d’arts de Paris-Cergy). This multi-disciplinary program enabled mixed teams to work on complex challenges and find solutions that took shape in business start-ups.

As a team we created two projets : Ostendo (an image recognition app that shows the creative process behind artwork) and Curcuma (a community network bringing together in the Arts & Science).
