Solution
h'up entrepreneurs represents and accelerates the success of entrepreneurs with disabilities. Thanks to its expert team, and the mobilization of 450 certified coaches and volunteer project experts, nearly 320 people with disabilities were supported in their entrepreneurial projects in 2023, with the aim of doubling this number by 2025.
In order to remove the barriers to accessing entrepreneurship, support programs combine coaching, mentoring, group formats and networking.
Pedagogical differentiation is based on (1) agility and adaptation to each situation, (2) a long support timeframe, (3) complementarity with existing players and (4) placing the subject of Disability at the heart of entrepreneurial questioning, notably thanks to the strength of peer-to-peer exchanges with "role models" (h'up community of over 3,000 disabled entrepreneurs throughout France).

Why we love it?
H'up entrepreneurs has been working for over 15 years to help people with disabilities turn their differences and their ability to adapt into a force for their own autonomy. As experts in their field, the association has carried out an in-depth analysis of the problem and the solutions to be offered, and has a real ambition to bring about systemic change.
Disability is a departure from the norm, a walking laboratory of innovation. What better way to get started?
