Entrepreneurship<br />

Economic tensions and social challenges are on the rise, yet government funding and philanthropy<br />

cannot address them alone. Whether in India, the United States or France, our Foundations support<br />

social entrepreneurs by providing financial assistance, training and personalized coaching. Our<br />

goal is to give them the strategic tools and rigorous methods they need to increase their social<br />

impact and ensure the financial sustainability of their businesses. We take particular interest in<br />

initiatives that combine innovation with harnessing technology to make optimal use of natural<br />

resources in order to provide fragile populations with better living conditions. By highlighting the<br />

common threads amongst our various projects, we seek to create synergies and develop an<br />

international network of social entrepreneurs. We are thus able to contribute to making this sector,<br />

which is currently undergoing rapid expansion across the globe, increasingly professional.
