All VINCI employees, regardless of their level, activity or country, can apply for the Intrapreneurs program.

Ideally, the project owner should submit a project implicating a team (minimum 2 people). The team must posses complimentary skills in order to enhance its chances of success. Nevertheless, the project lead can start the incubation program individually and complete his / her team along the program.

- Idea eligibility : the idea must concern any of VINCI’s verticals and reflect a new business orientation

- Team : all team members must be highly motivated, posses complimentary skills and show an entrepreneurial mindset

- Need and market : the project must adress an existing and confirmed need which implies a high potential market

- Value proposition : the value proposition must adress a specific use case. The project must be technically and economically realistic and viable.

- Fit with the program : the project should have a tranversal dimension (cross-entities and cross-functions), a roadmap that can be implemented during the incubation period and it must meet VINCI’s global performance ambitions (including environmental ones)

Leonard programs are designed for all employees, wherever they are based. Besides being a place, Leonard is a platform with a digital presence making it accessible to all employees across the globe.
