Innovation is a major part of business success. But what is innovation and how do you innovate? Can anyone do it, in business or in everyday life? We think the answer to that question is yes, and we want to help you discover how by sharing a simple process with you: four exploratory steps, creative but also realistic, designed to wake up the potential innovator in all of us.

The Creative Box course is open to everyone, free and accessible online. It offers two types of certificate from ESSCA, the prestigious business school in France. The teaching team behind Creative Box have designed it carefully to offer sophisticated know-how to the greatest number of people. The course is richly illustrated with concrete real-life examples. You will be invited to learn from interviews with big businesses (PSA Peugeot Citroën, The CSA Institute) and young entrepreneurs from startups (Cook-ease, Meat-me).
