The Editor

The very first edition of the Entrepreneurs Festival, organized by the CCI Marne Ardennes, will take place on May 14 and 15, 2025, right at the Maison des Entrepreneurs in Reims. And the organizers are thinking big: renowned personalities in the world of entrepreneurship, conferences, workshops, activities, garden party… The promise? That festival-goers will meet, exchange ideas, and learn, all in a festive atmosphere.

A packed program, fully embracing the entrepreneurial mindset

The vocabulary of entrepreneurs and startups will be front and center, featuring four key themes to be explored over these two days: financing and investment, innovation and disruption, strategy and growth, and leadership and influence. In short, we’ll be here to talk business and growth!
No less than 60 exchange moments are planned, including workshops to concretely apply solutions. Goals? Meet the right people, find answers to your questions, and create opportunities.

National Headliners and Local Personalities

The festival has planned conferences to draw inspiration from the insights of the greatest minds. Among those featured will be Alice Lhabouz, a businesswoman and investor known to the public from the latest season of Who Wants to Be My Partner? as a jury member. Also joining are Olivier Lajous, a former admiral and HR Director of the French Navy, Ilan Benhaïm, co-founder of Veepee, and Louis Bodin, a meteorologist engineer and presenter. From the world of local celebrities made in Reims, we’ll have Jean-Pierre Caillot, entrepreneur and president of Stade de Reims, along with Maxime Valette, a business angel, mentor, and creator of the famous “Life is a Mess”

Chill times for some “smooth networking”

The festival also offers plenty of chill and fun moments. At lunchtime, everyone is invited to have lunch together thanks to the delicious food trucks on site. You can also play a game of petanque, capture the moment with a photobooth, or join the garden party on Thursday evening that will wrap up the event with a DJ set. It’s the perfect chance to make new friends with your next potential investor, right?

The real highlight? The Entrepreneurs Festival is accessible to everyone at a very advantageous price. It joins the wonderful initiatives in the area to promote entrepreneurial spirit and foster connections, just like the Jelly Week, whose 10th edition will take place this year from September 29 to October 2, 2025, in Reims.
