Les Entreprenariales 2025: this Thursday, June 26 in Nice

The courage to dare, to innovate and to surpass oneself. This will be the common thread of the Entreprenariales 2025 which will take place this Thursday, June 26 at the Allianz Riviera in Nice. Organized by UPE06 (Union pour l'entreprise des Alpes-Maritimes), this ^24th edition of the business leaders' fair will have a special flavor because for the first time, the fair, which has been held for more than twenty years at the end of the year, is taking its summer quarters. And also because it will be coupled with the handover evening of the employers' organization. After three years of commitment, Pierre Ippolito and the members of the board are handing over the baton to the new team led by Franck Cannata, recently elected president of UPE06.

An unmissable event for the local and regional economy, the Entreprenariales are taking advantage of this change of date to reinvent themselves by offering three speakers on a large stage in the middle of the stadium pitch – instead of the usual one – chosen for their ability to illustrate courage in all its forms. In this case, General Pierre de Villiers, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces from 2014 to 2017, the "Wasp" of French fencing Laura Flessel who has converted to politics and the one who has made the opposite journey, the former Minister of the Economy, Political Recovery and Digital Affairs turned entrepreneur Arnaud Montebourg.

In addition, there will be various activities and a free-access workshop area with interactive experiences.

This new, larger format – 3,000 m² of exhibition space, including 700 m² on the stadium forecourt – is designed around seven villages: "Mobility and Transport, Attractiveness and Territory, Research and Innovation, Prevention and Health… , lists Pierre Ippolito. This approach makes it possible to bring together different ecosystems and integrate small trade fairs that do not necessarily have the capacity to exist on their own, either because they do not have the critical mass, or because they do not have any already structured events. This is the direction taken by the Entreprenariales this year: to become the trade fair for those who do not have a trade fair." He adds. "This edition is a success even before the event. We managed to bring together a large number of companies by almost doubling the number of stands with 165 exhibitors, and we also managed to bring together our professional federations and unions, because the employers' union is above all an interprofessional union. All these stakeholders will be involved alongside us. To make it an event for the entire ecosystem in the broadest sense."

Les Entreprenariales, Thursday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
