Solution
h'up entrepreneurs represents and accelerates the success of entrepreneurs with disabilities. With 450 volunteer coaches and experts, we supported over 440 entrepreneurs in 2024 thanks to a mix of coaching, mentoring, group formats and networking.
Our strength: "entrepreneurship & disability" expertise, active listening by a dedicated Referent, adaptation to each personalized and tailor-made path and long-term support. To remove the barriers to entrepreneurship, our support programs combine coaching, mentoring, group formats, peer-to-peer meetings and networking.
Our project: to celebrate the entrepreneurial audacity of people with disabilities through the h'up Trophies, in order to promote and gain recognition for their impact.

Why we love it?
H'up entrepreneurs has been working for over 17 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.
