Congratulations to the “Red Cube Coders” on winning second place at the European Patent Office’s CodeFest 2026! The team brought together Prof. Gaétan de Rassenfosse (EPFL’s STIP Lab), Reza Hosseini (Marsys.ai, former MTE student), Dr George Abi Younes (Artefact, former EDMT student), Mehdi El Bouari (EPFL, current DS student), and Dr Elena Mas Tur (EPO examiner).

The establishment of the Management of Technology & Entrepreneurship Institute demonstrates a commitment to advancing knowledge and understanding in the areas of technology management, entrepreneurship, and public policy. Institutes like these play a crucial role in promoting research, fostering innovation, and developing programs that equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in these fields.

By combining these three domains, the Management of Technology & Entrepreneurship Institute aims to create a comprehensive understanding of how technology, entrepreneurship, and public policy intersect and influence each other. This interdisciplinary approach is crucial for addressing the challenges and opportunities in today’s rapidly evolving business and societal landscape.
