The association Les Déterminés is launching its Tour de France de l'entrepreneuriat with 8 cities in 2020, including Toulouse, the first to host the regional coaching program in February. The beginning of 2020 marks a turning point for the association "Les Déterminés". After launching thirteen promotions since its creation, including two in January in the Paris region, the association will develop its support program nationwide in February in partnership with BPI France, Mazars, Anggels, ANCT (Agence Nationale pour la Cohésion du Territoire), BNP Paribas, regional institutions and local associations. Toulouse will be the first city to host the Tour de France 2020 program in February. Lyon, Montpellier, Marseille, Rouen, Lille, Cergy and Nancy will follow.
Going further by making entrepreneurship a lever for inclusion
The development of economic activity and entrepreneurship in the QPV (Priority Neighborhoods of the City Policy) is a major objective of the government. These areas are full of talent and a breeding ground for projects that reveal potential.
Les Déterminés, through its proximity action in the regions, wishes to make entrepreneurship a lever for inclusion. Since its founding in 2015, the association has sought to promote the creation of value in territories with development capacity and thus constitute models of economic success for young people from areas far from employment pools.
The association Les Déterminés selects, trains and accompanies all those who wish to launch themselves into entrepreneurship. It works in synergy with the entrepreneurship ecosystem, public organizations and its partners at the national level to build bridges between project leaders and the economic world.
Support the regional entrepreneurship ecosystem and become a gas pedal
The program, given by quality speakers, is entirely free thanks to the support of its partners BPI France, Mazars, Anggels, ANCT (Agence Nationale pour la Cohésion du Territoire), BNP Paribas and with the help of regional institutions and local associations.
This Tour de France 2020 aims to promote local entrepreneurial initiatives and to become a regional gas pedal. 15 future entrepreneurs per city will benefit from the team's know-how and the skills made available by the partners, regions and local associations with which the association works.
« Promoting diversity has become necessary to allow for greater value creation for our French economic landscape. For the association Les Déterminés, the mission is to act in working-class neighborhoods and rural areas by offering support to entrepreneurs. We bring our expertise on the empowerment of young people, especially women. We create a favorable network for these future entrepreneurs, advise and redirect projects to professional structures adapted to each project.
Thus, this Tour de France is part of this strategy to accelerate gender diversity in the employment ecosystem, and aims to promote diversity in entrepreneurship. The association does not aim to establish itself in the regions. Our objective is to work with the existing ecosystem, share our know-how and co-construct a program adapted to the needs of each region »explains Moussa Camara, president and founder of the association.
