This was also a good opportunity to participate in a program of workshops and forums particularly focused on the importance of support.

IZI-OOH, winner of the Prix Coup de Coeur for business creation
Founded in March 2006 by Pierre Fernandes (Tel: 04 97 08 84 38), IZI-OOH specializes in the creation, production, and marketing of reusable non-woven bags: cleanliness bags for vehicles that can be adjusted to the gear lever and headrests for rear passengers (available in various models and colors for different occasions), and custom shoe packaging.
This company has focused its activity on healthy and 100% recyclable products and has managed to develop an appealing product while respecting a civic and activist commitment to environmental protection. From a development perspective, Pierre Fernandes plans to soon set up a manufacturing workshop in France to respond to small orders, and also to launch an advertising campaign targeted at the general public. An adventure that is just beginning!
Electric 06, winner of the Prix Coup de Coeur for business takeover
The company Electric 06, taken over by Etienne Coudié (Tel: 04 93 54 85 23), specializes in the sale and maintenance of laundry equipment, electromechanical equipment, and electrical installation. This company particularly serves industrial laundries (hotels, restaurants, clinics/hospitals, nursing homes), manufacturers (packaging, conditioning), but also craftsmen (woodworker’s machine tools, mechanics, marble workers).
Etienne Coudié chose to take over an existing business rather than create one, as the goals he had set seemed quicker to achieve in an already established structure.
Today, he wishes to increase his clientele in the sectors he already masters and to expand into electrotechnics. The partners of Génération Entreprendre have thus rewarded his project by allocating him the sum of 1,500 euros.
