Comment développer mon projet ?  Lorsqu'on développe son projet entrepreneurial, de nombreuses questions se posent : 

👉 Un plan financier, ça sert à quoi ? Quelle est la différence avec un business plan ?
👉 Comment financer mon entreprise ? Puis-je faire appel à des subsides ?
👉 Dois-je me faire accompagner ? Par qui ? Ca coûte combien ? Existe-t-il des aides ?
👉 Comment inclure les enjeux de durabilité à mon projet ?

Pour vous aider à y voir plus clair et à avancer dans la bonne direction, nous vous proposons un atelier d'une heure ce mercredi 6 avril, à 12h. L'occasion de passer en revue toutes les interrogations des entrepreneurs qui souhaitent développer leur projet.

📆 Quand ? Le mercredi 6 avril à 12h
