How French Presidential Candidates Can Learn To Spell ?Entrepreneur?

This is a guest post by serial entrepreneur Nathalie Gaveau. As we get closer to the first round of Presidential elections in France on April 22nd and everyone is focusing on the French economy, it seems like a perfect time to talk about supporting and promoting entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in France.

The set-up of the Agence pour la cr?ation d?entreprises (APCE) in the late 1990s and the special fiscal treatment of independent or ?auto-entrepreneurs? has led to a dramatic increase in the number of startups.
