The BSP (Business and Startup Programme) was established by IBN in partnership with EMIE ((Engineering and Management high Institute of Enterprise)). It responds to the need for the church to contribute strongly and effectively to the reduction of poverty, economic and social insecurity by empowering and strengthening Christian potential with a view to creating added value.
Through the partnership between IBN and EMIE, leaders, pastors and all believers who wish to create an income-generating activity can highlight their skills and realize their dream of successful entrepreneurship.
Through the partnership with EMIE, IBN students can benefit from a dual theological and business curriculum, thanks to EMIE’s qualifying, certifying and diploma (BTS, Bachelor & Executive MBA) training programs.
About EMIE
EMIE is a Higher Education Institute attached to VALOR & SKILLS Group. It was born from the desire to promote entrepreneurship in university environments through the “Factory-School” concept combining theory and practice with a view to the emergence of skills while working at the University-business interface and driving the development of a new industrial fabric.
Designed in strong and dynamic collaboration with French and European Universities and Higher Education Schools, the driving forces behind training within this Institute of Higher Education are the professionalization and digitalization of training, work-study training and continuing education throughout the professional lives of the actors in the value creation chain, by integrating teaching modules dedicated to transversal activities with, in particular, “incoming – outgoing” mobility of French, European and African teachers and trainers.
The alignment of these engines with the facilitation of the maturation of viable, replicable industrial pilot projects, resulting from research results and with strong technological and economic potential, aims at the advent of a real melting pot of VSEs, SMEs-SMIs likely to establish themselves in a territory and to spread a region or even an entire country.
The shaping of the training content, both theoretical and practical, has been generally guided by the desire to support and supervise wealth creators, in particular with the aim of consolidating food security, improving national production and productivity, contributing to the reduction of imports, boosting import substitution and significantly developing the consumption of local products.
In doing so, EMIE provides administrative, legal, technical, technological, commercial and even psychological support to young people in general and to young graduates, in particular in their efforts to create businesses.
