Tramway Named Startup tools

Event partners have developed a “creator journey” in the form of an original tramway map, providing information regarding the best steps and directions to building a committed and successful company. Designed by Visionari and developed by Patte Blanche, each step was jointly established leveraging the skills and expertise of each partner. The result is a printed and digital map intended to become a model in France for a new type of entrepreneurship that is committed and innovative.

The map describes 5 lines, with 10 stops, providing meaningful and thought-provoking answers to questions. The map is available here
