"Espace Entreprendre" is an initiative launched by the National Employment Agency as part of a cooperation project with Belgium. It promotes self-employment and assists project leaders throughout all the stages of their projects (idea, creation, installation, and sustainability of activities and jobs created).
"Espace Entreprendre" targets any potential individuals having the required qualifications or professional experience and wishing to set up their own companies – in particular higher education and training center graduates, individuals made redundant for economic reasons, and business owners.
It is in charge of providing project owners with information on the creation of micro-enterprises and business opportunities; offering assistance during the development of business plans, file submission and follow-up with funding organizations, and networking. It also provides training and technical assistance for project entrepreneurs over the first five years of their business establishment.
