Young Entrepreneurs Initiative 2010

February 17, 2010

The FACCNE is pleased to announce the results of the fifth edition of the Young Entrepreneurs Initiative (YEi). YEi'10 rewards 10 innovative entrepreneurs based in the U.S. who wish to settle in France. Since YEi's launch in 2005, a total of 174 applications have been submitted, 34 of whom applied this year with a common purpose: expand their innovative development in France.

The 10 winners will receive one year of support from YEi and its transatlantic partners. The support will include mentoring, training, free advice (legal, marketing), and access not only to investors, but also to YEi's broad network of innovation and entrepreneurship. Six of them will also benefit from a one-week mission to France financed by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs to meet their potential partners and clients.

Please find below the press release from YEi'10:

FACC Network Saddened by Loss

December 31, 2009

Mr. Serge Bellanger, President of the FACC of NYC, passed away on December 24, 2009. The FACCNE echoes the sadness of the FACC network and the French-American community at large, and extends our condolences to his wife Danielle.

Mr. Bellanger was a pillar of the French-American community, a dedicated ambassador for strong French-American relations and a consummate professional, whose tireless work ethic, guiding wisdom and commitment to all of the many professional and philanthropic causes he supported will be sorely missed.
