Delville Management Committed to "Entrepreneurs dans la ville"

Delville Management, a transition management firm, is involved in the "Entrepreneurs dans la ville" programme launched by the association Sport dans La Ville, and runs mentoring initiatives for young entrepreneurs from emerging urban neighbourhoods.

The Entrepreneurs dans la Ville Programme

Founded in 1998 by Nicolas Eschermann, Sport dans la ville is a non-profit association whose mission is to support young people from priority neighbourhoods.

Over the years, Sport dans la Ville has expanded its reach across France and has become one of the country's leading non-profit organisations.

The association uses sport as a vehicle for positive social development.

Through its various programmes, it supports the social and professional integration of 10,800 young people each year.

The Entrepreneurs dans la Ville programme, created in partnership with EM Lyon, is a key component of Delville Management's CSR commitment.

It targets young people aged 20 to 35 with an entrepreneurial mindset who aspire to start their own business. Since its launch in 2007, "Entrepreneurs dans la Ville" has contributed to the creation of 448 companies — making a significant contribution to job creation while promoting equal opportunity.

Mentoring: A Strong Bond Between Delville Management and Young Entrepreneurs

One of the greatest strengths of the "Entrepreneurs dans la ville" programme is its mentoring component.

Delville Management has established a framework that enables Club Delville members to share their expertise with young entrepreneurs.

Mentors support young founders from the earliest stages of their projects — helping with business plan development — and share their knowledge through fundraising initiatives for more mature companies.

This expertise-sharing model helps guide young business leaders as they navigate the complex world of entrepreneurship.

This intergenerational connection also gives young people access to a broad network that would otherwise be out of reach, opening doors to new development opportunities.

Delville Management, Supporting Youth through "Sport dans la ville"

Delville Management's involvement goes far beyond a one-off initiative — it is part of a long-term commitment to social responsibility.

This approach reflects the firm's core values of responsibility and solidarity, and demonstrates the positive impact a company can have when it actively invests in community-driven initiatives.

By sharing its expertise and providing financial support, Delville Management plays a key role in helping young people from underserved communities bring their entrepreneurial projects to life.

A powerful catalyst for turning tomorrow's entrepreneurial visions into reality!
