Committed young people are aware of the issues affecting our societies and are seeking to find solutions and contribute to developing a fairer and more inclusive economic model. There is growing interest in alternative business models, such as social economy enterprises. Even so, the transition from idea to project is for many project leaders a difficult hurdle to overcome. The SISMIC program, run by regional social economy clusters, offers support to young people in their efforts to launch social economy businesses. Although the support offered by the poles is highly relevant to the many projects they shepherd, the proportion of actual collective enterprises that result from the SISMIC incubators remains low. Basing itself on regional perspective, the Pôle des entreprises d’économie sociale de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (Pôle CN) explains in this article the reasons behind the difficulty in bringing young people’s collective projects to fruition.
