With a decidedly innovative format, the Forum will promote a culture of initiative with the ambition to transmit a passion, that of entrepreneurship.
The Entrepreneur Forum is not just another event on business creation. While it is important to discuss the legal, economic, and financial environment of the entrepreneur, it is even more important to focus on the preliminary steps to starting a business, the entrepreneur’s personality, their motivations, their background, and of course, to facilitate meetings between individuals who are committed to their activities daily.
The first two days of the weekend will be dedicated to relaxation, meeting others, and “networking”. Sports and festive activities will be organized to encourage dialogue and to have a good time with opportunities for entrepreneurs to bring their families. Notable personalities from the world of business, sports, or culture who have started their own businesses or launched interesting entrepreneurial initiatives will be present.
A conference program that gives space to entrepreneurs
The following two days, a conference program will feature academic figures, entrepreneurs, and support professionals. It will allow attendees to discover or enhance their understanding of business creation, learn the steps to move from idea to action, the role of innovation, the search for opportunities, and entrepreneur profiles. Sector-specific conferences will provide a better understanding of the lesser-known realms of entrepreneurship such as social and solidarity economy, sports, crafts, and culture.
Animations and workshops to facilitate encounters between entrepreneurs
Next to the conference area, an 800 m2 exhibition space will allow for meeting, exchanging, and interacting with professionals from consulting, finance, and training sectors. Also present will be a workshop for testing one’s personality, a workshop on public and private aid, a free internet area, a stand for individual and personalized follow-ups, and a documentation center on entrepreneurship.
A TV set located in the exhibition hall will offer half-hour mini-conferences to inform visitors about practical aspects. Several topics will be developed: How to communicate with the press, my banker my friend, public writer for businesses, working as a couple, for or against wage portage, yoga relaxation and stress management, coaching tailored to one’s needs, the fundamentals of accounting, theater in business, legal protection of projects, etc.
Furthermore, Antipolis Innovation Campus has set up a favorable environment and a friendly atmosphere to create the best conditions for exchange and dialogue, facilitate meetings, and enable partnerships.
