Claude Michaud, responsible for the incubator ESSAIM of APRES-GE, Geneva, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your company?”. Being very creative and entrepreneur he carries out 3%. He tells us he created 4 companies, one is still working after 30 years and one crashed. By the way, breakfast is a good moment for ideas. And there are other places, too.
The complete name is “Chambre de l’économie sociale et solidaire APRES-GE“.
