90 entrepreneurs gathered on our campus

"Love what you do, go all the way, and above all, believe in yourself" is the advice given by Samah Brikh, President of the Alumni Club of the entrepreneurs dans la ville program, to the new Entrepreneurs 2020 promotion. Last Monday, September 28, the graduation ceremony of the Entrepreneurs dans la Ville program was held. Following an intensive 4-month course in our partner business schools to develop their entrepreneurial fundamentals and turn their idea into a business, the promotion ofEntrepreneurs dans la Ville 2020 received their certifications. They are now ready to start the incubation period to accelerate the development of their businesses over the next two years.

This program, created by Sport dans la ville and strongly supported by BPIfrance, allows us to "offer means that match the ambitions of these entrepreneurs" says Ahmed Bouzouaïd, Head of BPIfrance Entrepreneurship for All.
Thanks to the support of the three organisations (Sport dans la ville, Emlyon and BPIfrance), young entrepreneurs have access to all the ingredients for success: advice and individual support, collective support within the promotion and networking.

Despite the health crisis and a difficult economic climate, the motivation of young entrepreneurs remains intact. "You don't give up, you commit yourself, and when you commit yourself you go all the way," Samir says to all his classmates.
Thanks to the responsiveness of the teaching team, all the graduates have been able to continue to follow the online courses and benefit from individual support via videoconferencing. They are now looking forward to the incubation period and would like to thank the program partners for their loyal support.

To conclude the ceremony, Jean- Michel Aulas, Founder and President of CEGID and President of Olympique Lyonnais, testified to the entrepreneurs and transmitted to them his three fundamental values for entrepreneurship: integrity, transparency and humility.
