Entrepreneurship
and Social and solidarity economy
in Paris -
2014
My
impression is that nowadays you must have a global overview about entrepreneurship (and solving
unemployment issues - essentially fo young people and seniors!)
For me
several concepts cannot be separated anymore and they are, for instance
- entrepreneurship
- distance working
- ecommerce
- startups - incubators - coworking spaces
- solidarity and sustainable economy - - alternative and ethical banking
- intergenerational transfer of competences
- coaching
- creativity workshops
Summary
Coworking in Paris and Atelier de l'ESS
La Mutinerie
I spent my
afternosome time recently in a wonderful
coworking place called "La mutinerie"
because I
was co-organizing a "RepairCafé meeting" ( repair things instead of
throwing away)
in the same
place, in the morning there was the usual sale of BIO vegetables and fruits
from some association LA Ruche Qui dit Oui http://www.laruchequiditoui.fr/939 who is
member of AMAP (http://www.amap-idf.org/vie-associative_18.php)
At the
Mutinerie, once a month , startups and newcomers are presenting their projects
and ideas.
Creativity
workshops
Mutinerie
has also a "school " : in order
to “upgrade” Mutineers and theirs fellows, Mutinerie has taken the plunge and
has decided to launch its very own Pirate School. The curriculum at Mutinerie
School will focus on three areas, namely - Tech, Design and Business.:

startups

Incubators
Most of
them are centralized in a municipal structure :
Incubators
are intended to project the creation of economic activities already validated
by a support structure.
They
provide a legal framework and physical support of project to create economic
activities in actual production with maintenance or preservation of social
rights.
They are
used to verify in situ the feasibility of the project:
