Université Grenoble Alpes announces Startup Weekend events

The Université Grenoble Alpes, through Pépite OZER, has announced upcoming editions of the Startup Weekend event in Annecy and Grenoble. These 54-hour entrepreneurial intensives are designed to help participants transition from a single idea to a startup project.

The Annecy edition is scheduled for October 9–11, 2026. The Grenoble edition will take place from November 27–29, 2026, and features approximately €15,000 in prize money.

Both events follow a three-stage format: pitching ideas to form teams, developing projects with the assistance of experienced coaches, and presenting final work to a jury. The programs are open to entrepreneurs, local experts, investors, and students, with specific registration discounts available for the student population.
