Setting up your own business or innovating from within an organization: these are two increasingly popular options. Far from being opposites,entrepreneurship andintrapreneurship each offer advantages depending on profiles, ambitions and working environments. But how do you choose the right model?
Entrepreneurship means creating your own structure, from idea to financing, with total control... but also all the associated risks.Intrapreneurship, on the other hand, means developing an innovative project within an existing company, with secure resources and supervision.
According to a Bpifrance study, 47% of managers in large companies would like to test an intrapreneurship project, without necessarily leaving their job. It's a way of doing business with a safety net.

Artificial intelligence is radically transforming both models: entrepreneurs use it to automate tasks, prototype faster or generate content. Intrapreneurs, on the other hand, use it to reinvent internal processes or offer enhanced services.
According to France Digitale, 72% of project developers in 2025 will incorporate AI tools right from the ideation phase. Understanding these tools becomes a lever for agility and efficiency, whether you're working alone or in a company.
