Entrepreneurship is the prerequisite for economic growth and a decline in the level of unemployment. It's an economic issue. It means business creation, development and takeover of existing businesses, and does not concern the only exemple of the entrepreneur, but all stakeholders of the company.

• Adopt measures to support new businesses (ex : reduce some taxes the first year of activity,…).
• Develop and increase apprenticeship (ex : encourage better salaries for apprentice, facilitate tutorship,…..).
• Promote the idea of entrepreneurship throughout the society, specifically through the youngsters.
