Yosemite program was launched in 2022 aiming for supporting Gadz'Arts entrepreneurs who are willing to develop business activities in the Unites States.

In order to promote our new program, our Yosemite mentors Xavier Wartelle (Li 82), who also happens to be AFAM's CEO, and our Yosemite mentor Philippe Laurent (An 202), living and working in France today, met with alumni and students in Paris and Lille.

Xavier was able to talk to alumni and students in person during a session organized in Paris on September 16th, at la SOCE by Jean-Guy Queromes (An 172). Thank you, Jean-Guy!

The second session was organized on September 19th, by Lille campus as a part of "Matinée Innovation" for the first year students. AFAM would like to thank Sylvain Bigot for organizing and inviting one of our Yosemite mentors to meet students. The informational session with Philippe Laurent was virtual.

We'd love to thank our Yosemite mentors for the time and would be happy to invite Arts et Metiers entrepreneurs to join our Yosemite program. Please visit our web site to know more and to sign up for a session with one of our mentors.
