entrepreneurs dans la ville

Co-created by emlyon business school and Sport dans la Ville, the Entrepreneurs dans la Ville program has been detecting, selecting and supporting ambitious young entrepreneurs who are determined to become entrepreneurs and who live in underserved neighborhoods of the city. The acceleration program aims to get entrepreneurial projects off the ground and to reveal real business leaders through free 2-year support in 2 phases:

The STARTER: 6 months of intensive training where the entrepreneur joins a class of entrepreneurs, develops his entrepreneurial fundamentals, explores his market, challenges his project & builds his business plan.

THE INCUBATION: 18 months of incubation to accelerate the development of the entrepreneurial project: individual support by a start-up manager, access to workshops and consultants, project reviews, and a workspace.

THE ACCELERATOR: 12 months of acceleration to help higher potential and ambiton companies and entrepreneurs scale and raise funds.

Program applicants can apply to each of the programs based on their company's level of maturity.

The program has 6 local offices across France: Lyon, Paris, Marseille, Lille, Grenoble and Saint-Etienne and supports nearly 200 new entrepreneurs each year.
