Applications are now open for the 2027 cohort of Leonard’s Intrapreneurs Program

Does your company develop a solution ready to be tested or deployed on the market? Leonard’s Intrapreneur Program is opening its next cohort to help Group companies turn their solutions into concrete, market-ready projects. Join us: applications are now open!

Scaling the Group’s Solutions

For nearly ten years, the Intrapreneur Program has supported VINCI companies in developing new business activities from existing, tested solutions.

Open to all business lines and entities, it helps structure and accelerate projects aligned with the Group’s strategic priorities, adapting to different levels of maturity.

Apply to the INTRAP 2027 Program

A proven program:

  • 97 projects incubated since 2017
  • 118 intrapreneurs supported
  • 36 new activities created within VINCI
  • 61% of projects still active after 3 years

Here, it’s not about starting from an idea, but about turning a solution into a sustainable business activity.

How is the support program structured?

A two-phase journey to scale your project.

Exploration phase: validating the fit between need and solution

January to June – 1 day per week

For six months, intrapreneurs dedicate 20% of their time to their project, i.e. one day per week. This phase supports them in validating the problem-solution fit, defining the business model, and building the product and go-to-market roadmap.

In practical terms, it involves:

  • Gain a deep understanding of market needs
  • Strengthen their value proposition
  • Refine their commercial roadmap

This phase is supported by workshops, coaching sessions, and exchanges with other project leaders.

Acceleration Phase: Turning Ideas into Action

September to December – Full-time on the project

The most promising projects continue their journey through a four-month acceleration phase.

The objective is to turn the insights gained during the exploration phase into concrete actions in order to:

  • Execute the commercial strategy
  • Prepare legal and compliance requirements
  • Structure the market launch and deployment of the solution.

Who Is the Program For?

The program is designed for employees who, with the support of their business unit, want to turn an existing solution into a concrete project with a tangible impact on overall business performance.

To apply, you must:

  • Have a high-potential project for your company
  • Hold a permanent contract (Permanent contract)
  • Be ready to fully commit to the program:
    • 1 day per week (20%) during the exploration phase
    • 100% of your time during the acceleration phase.

A unique opportunity to turn your solution into reality
