Another victory for ENSTA at INNOV’NIGHT

At the heart of this success lies the practical insight and experience of two team members, Ambrine Pujo and Thomas Carpentier, who are currently working in industry as part of a work-study program.

As Ambrine, the team captain, explains, “My experience as a work-study student in an industrial group where the machines are highly specialized gave us a solid starting point: to find a solution to optimize the corrective maintenance of these machines, where even the slightest breakdown can halt all production.”

This solution took the form of an AI agent, JARVIS, developed in record time thanks to the talent and experience of Thomas Carpentier, himself a work-study student training as a digital simulation software development engineer.

At dawn came the crucial moment to “pitch” the project to the jury, a decisive moment during which everyone managed to stay alert enough to maintain their persuasive power and win over the jury.

The five friends, most of whom had met through TAEP, ENSTA’s student-run enterprise, got fully into the spirit of the competition and, encouraged by the jury’s praise, are now planning to bring the startup project—which took shape during that spring night—to life.

“INNOV’NIGHT is an excellent experience to share with friends, during which you learn a great deal and gain insight into what entrepreneurship is really about. It’s an extremely motivating challenge, and if the results of the last two editions are any indication, ENSTA students clearly have the right profile to excel at it!” concludes Ambrine Pujo.
