Presentation of Chrisy Raharison

Let's introduce yourself

After completing my preparatory classes for the Grandes Écoles at the INP Bordeaux preparatory school, I continued my training as a chemical and materials engineer at ENSMAC (Ecole Nationale Supérieure en Matériaux, Agroalimentaire et Chimie). There, I acquired a multidisciplinary scientific and technical foundation as well as the critical thinking skills necessary for the profession. Having wanted to work in the space industry since high school, I became involved in student associations promoting science, notably the Association d’Aéronautique et Astronautique de France (3AF), the Association Universitaire d’Astronomie and the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC). I now work at the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the Young Graduate Trainee programme in Business Development. From a very scientific background, I have moved on to a profile combining technology, business and innovation strategy. This is an experience that I am able to enjoy thanks in part to the Advanced Master’s® MGPIE at ISAE-SUPAERO.

What motivated you to pursue your studies in a Advanced Master's® programme, and more specifically in MGPIE?

During my engineering studies, I often had the opportunity to work in research, development, and innovation environments on academic and community projects, hackathons, and internships. These experiences allowed me to take a step back from the very centred Cartesian engineering mindset of ‘technology as a solution’ and ‘technology-push’, as Eric Ries points out in his book Lean Start-up: “It doesn’t matter if we build something on time and on budget if we build something that no one is going to use.” To solve the urgent socio-economic and environmental problems we face, we definitely need solutions that are resolutely useful, resilient and sober, in line with our social and environmental convictions throughout their entire life cycle – from design to recycling. Having worked in start-ups, SMEs, laboratories and large companies, I have seen the influence of corporate strategy and organisation on technical decisions. The role of an engineer in a company therefore seemed too narrow to me to have a direct impact on the innovations that will shape the future. The Advanced Master’s® in MGPIE at ISAE-SUPAERO helps students understand the economic, organisational and financial challenges of a company and how to promote innovation in an environment with multiple constraints. The programme has a practical and comprehensive approach: the theory learned can be directly and concretely applied through the Innovative Exploratory Project (PIE). Beyond training, it offers a real entrepreneurial experience, and this principle appealed to me.

What has the MGPIE programme brought you?

The MGPIE Advanced Master’s® allowed me to complement my technical engineering training with a business and strategy dimension, resolutely focused on creating value through innovation. I was then able to take on positions close to the decision-making spheres of companies. For me, the main advantage of the programme was understanding the competitive, political and financial environment in which companies operate. The strategies explored during the programme (Design Thinking, Blue Ocean Strategy, Lean Start-up, Agile Method, for example), training in market research and negotiation courses were key drivers for the start of my career. Beyond the knowledge gained from the master’s programme, I was able to open up to other fields beyond space, such as maritime, energy, sports, health and agronomy, thanks to the diversity of the profiles of the students enrolled in the master’s programme and the diversity of the lecturers.

What are you doing today? What are your plans?

Today, I work in Business Development at the European Space Agency (ESA) on telecommunications projects, particularly in the civil security sector. My role is to support the launch of a new commercial programme for the Agency: strategic definition, ecosystem analysis, review of funding applications, communication, legal aspects. I am in constant contact with partner companies and signatory delegations. I use the skills I acquired during my master’s degree on a daily basis, such as defining business models and negotiation. At the same time, I am in the process of setting up an entrepreneurial project to combat urban heat islands, currently supported by ESA BIC Netherlands.

Any advice for young graduates interested in the MGPIE programme?

In our rapidly changing environment, if you want to make an impact by enabling the emergence of more virtuous innovations or new practices that are more in tune with the speed of current changes, the MGPIE Advanced Master will provide you with the theoretical and practical foundations you need to understand the levers for action in a company – whether it is your own or the one you work for. The quality of the teaching, the ability of the lecturers to challenge you, and the study environment (fablab, start-up incubator, entrepreneurial coaching, atmosphere conducive to creativity) will give you the opportunity to express your personality and convictions during the course, particularly in your Innovative Exploratory Project.

Meeting with Alexandre Lemaitre

What is your background?

Like many engineers, I began my training with a “Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles” (CPGE) where I was able to acquire a solid scientific and technical grounding. After 2 years, this CPGE enabled me to join the Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) to train as a general engineer. At the end of this course, I decided to join the first class of the MGPIE Advanced Masters® at ISAE-SUPAERO.

What motivated you to continue your studies in the Advanced Masters® and more specifically in MGPIE?

After my engineering degree, my main objective was to acquire dual skills – technical and managerial – so as to have a CV that stood out from the crowd, but also to be able to think more broadly about the projects I was going to undertake.

On the job market, it’s an undeniable advantage for technical profiles to understand the basics of corporate finance, project management, commercial issues and negotiation.

What have you gained from the MS MGPIE? What are the main advantages of the course?

With the MGPIE Advanced Masters®, on the one hand I obtained the dual skills I was looking for, and on the other, I benefited from ISAE-SUPAERO’s high profile and reputation on the job market. In addition, the richness of the course lies in the diversity of the profiles that can join the MS: engineers, business school graduates, university students and experienced professionals. This diversity is also reflected in the different career prospects open to future graduates: Entrepreneur, Project Manager, Project Management Officer, Innovation Management Consultant, Innovation Financing Consultant, etc. Finally, the Innovative Exploratory Project (IEP) is an excellent opportunity offered by this Specialised Masters® to work in a team on a study for the creation and marketing of a new technological product. In this way, the theoretical knowledge learned in class can be quickly put into practice through this exercise.

What are you doing today? What are your projects?

I’m currently working as a consultant in innovation financing and management at Fi Group, an international specialist in the performance and financing of R&D, innovation and investment. In a nutshell, my role is to help companies – from start-ups to major groups – structure their innovation and R&D operations (framework, planning, costs, risks) as well as their search for public funding (Research Tax Credit, Innovation Tax Credit, grants and other financial aid, etc.). Alongside this main professional activity, I’m pleased to be able to give a course every year in the MGPIE Advanced Master on the levers of public funding for innovation.

Any advice for recent graduates interested in the MGPIE programme?

If you are looking for a career in project management, innovation consulting or simply creating your own start-up, then the MGPIE programme will be a real asset, with its high-level courses and fascinating lecturers. What’s more, you’ll benefit from the school’s reputation to accelerate your career, and from facilities and experts dedicated to innovation to support you in your entrepreneurial project: start-up incubator, prototyping space, coaches with extensive experience of entrepreneurship, professors who can provide cutting-edge technical knowledge, a large network of alumni, etc.

Meeting with Anne-Alice Faure

His career

What is your background?

Since 2022: Co-founder of the startup Snapaccess
2022: Graduates from the Advanced Masters® in Innovative Project Management and Entrepreneurship (MS MGPIE) at ISAE-SUPAERO
2021 : Graduates from ENSEIRB-MATMECA as an electronics engineer

Can you tell us about your business project, SNAP ACCESS?

I co-founded Snapaccess with Loïc Hardouin, a friend I met at the MGPIE programme.

During discussions with a sanitation services company, we realised just how much their work was slowed down by having to go back and forth to fetch keys. Often, service providers have to travel miles to find an access point that will allow them to enter a house or infrastructure. Service companies aren’t the only ones to face this problem; companies with remote sites have to manage a large number of sets of keys from afar. So our aim is to make it easier for companies and service providers to exchange keys.

Since our launch in September 2022, we have provided an initial response to this need. Snapaccess offers a key box connected by 4G or WIFI to an online platform. The solution can be operated entirely remotely, giving customers real-time access to their buildings. Our system is of interest to a large number of companies, which is why our objective for 2023 is to boost our sales and improve our service, in order to provide our customers with the ideal solution. To achieve this, we also want to expand the existing team, which consists of Loïc and myself, as well as our communications and marketing student, Carla.

Winner of the Jean Pierson prize for her leadership qualities

In December 2022, Anne-Alice received the Jean Pierson Prize, awarded each year to a graduating student of the Institute who has demonstrated particular leadership qualities during their years of study. This prize from the Fondation ISAE-SUPAERO has enabled him to reflect on the qualities required of a leader, and his impact within an organisation. An encouraging reward for his Snapaccess entrepreneurial project!

What have you gained from the Advanced Master MGPIE? What are the main advantages of the programme?

The MGPIE has given me a great deal from both an academic and a human point of view. The diversity of the courses offered is the course’s main asset.

With the innovation courses, I was able to broaden my knowledge of a large number of new technologies. I remember the course on biomimicry, which particularly piqued my curiosity. Other courses, such as creativity, push us out of the Cartesian mental space that we have as engineers, by getting us to think differently.

The main advantage of the course is the PIE (Projet Innovant Exploratoire), a project to create a start-up that follows us throughout the course. It gives us the opportunity to experience what it’s like to set up a business.

Work focuses on the development of a product to be prototyped, using ISAE-SUPAERO’s Innovspace Fablab, and on developing and understanding the target market. The project therefore provides an opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship, to challenge ourselves and to learn how to manage a project as part of a team.

What’s more, most of the courses in the Advanced Master are taught by professionals, which gives the lessons a real-life context and avoids abstract theories.

Finally, the programme has a large alumni network, with over 1,500 alumni! This network helps to increase the number of career opportunities, which are already very attractive on completion of the course.

What motivated you to continue your studies in the Advanced Masters® and more specifically in MGPIE?

At the end of my end-of-studies placement at MBDA, I needed to broaden my horizons. My scientific training gave me a solid technical background, but I was curious to discover other fields. So I chose an Advanced Master to complement my initial training in project management, finance, marketing, agile methods and so on. What’s more, I’ve always been attracted to entrepreneurship, and the teaching on this subject made me decide to enrol on this course. It was probably the best decision I ever made!

Any advice for recent graduates interested in the MGPIE course?

As engineers, our primary job is to be able to respond to problems, and the MGPIE courses give us additional tools to respond to the future assignments we will be given in companies. Generally speaking, the course provides all the keys to leading and managing a project in its entirety, whether it’s an entrepreneurial project or not. So the only advice I can give is to apply without hesitation.

Decarbonization

Sustainability

Aviation, like all sectors of human activity, must now step up its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, in particular to keep the global temperature increase below 2°C by 2050 (ICAO commitment).

These efforts must cover all components, from technological innovations and breakthroughs to flight operations, system design and the establishment of new standards. This requires the current aeronautical sector (some 300,000 people in France) to train and acquire new skills that can be put to immediate use. Professionals in the sector therefore need to be offered training courses tailored to these needs!

In response, ISAE-SUPAERO and ENAC have just launched a new programme aimed at experienced aeronautical engineers who want to fully integrate current and future transitions into their work.

These transitions include the ecological transition, a real collective challenge to which aviation is contributing in the same way as other sectors, but also technological and operational challenges.

The launch of the Advanced Masters®, scheduled for 2026, will be preceded by other, shorter and complementary distance learning programmes on the same theme.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

This means implementing a low-carbon strategy aimed at reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, adapting our campus to future environmental impacts and reducing other environmental impacts (notably biodiversity and resources).
