Signature de la convention entre le REB et l'AER

On May 5, 2025, Réseau Entreprendre Bourgogne (REB) and the Regional Economic Agency of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (AER BFC) signed a partnership agreement to strengthen support for entrepreneurs across the Burgundy region.

This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to fostering the creation, takeover, and growth of innovative businesses that generate employment.

A strategic partnership for the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem

Signed by Arnaud Gravel, director of Réseau Entreprendre Bourgogne, and Agnès Ramillon, managing director of AER BFC, the agreement aims to combine the expertise of both organizations to better identify, guide, and support high-potential project leaders.

This partnership is built on shared values: local engagement, a commitment to job creation and innovation, and the desire to grow entrepreneurial initiatives sustainably.

Concrete actions at the heart of the agreement

The agreement includes a set of coordinated actions, including:

  • Regular collaboration between teams to identify and assess promising entrepreneurial projects across the four departments of Burgundy

  • Tailored support for project leaders based on their specific needs, whether they are creating, taking over, or developing a business

  • Joint participation in key ecosystem events, such as the “Les Entrep’ en Bourgogne” program

  • Mutual involvement in regional economic networks to promote synergies among development actors

  • Organization of events (webinars, networking sessions, laureates’ clubs) to strengthen connections between entrepreneurs, experts, and support structures

A partnership to promote ambitious entrepreneurship

This agreement formalizes an already active collaboration and lays the groundwork for a more coordinated support system at the regional level. It is fully aligned with AER BFC’s mission to foster economic development and employment throughout the territory.
