Pacte Émergence
The Pacte Émergence is for future entrepreneurs who want to create an activity that puts employment and social utility at the heart of its model. The support covers economic, financial and organisational analysis, the financing strategy, social impact and testing the project. A grant of a variable amount may be offered, subject to meeting the conditions and presenting the project to the partner funders. The product page gives no flat-rate amount: confirm it with France Active Pays de la Loire.
Do you have an idea for a social enterprise but still need to test the business model, check the need you are meeting and convince your first partners? France Active Pays de la Loire’s Pacte Émergence supports this maturation phase: project diagnosis, advice on social impact, financing recommendations and introductions to experienced entrepreneurs. A grant can also contribute to the expenditure needed for experimentation, after the project has been presented to partner funders.
