**Enterprise Initiative et Création (EIC) is a support mechanism for the creation of integrated enterprises (emergence, pre-creation support, financing, post-creation monitoring) in the political districts of the city of Toulouse. Its aim is to increase the number of businesses created in the priority areas of Toulouse’s policy and the number of women entrepreneurs. The post-creation monitoring component also aims to improve the sustainability of the businesses created.** EIC is open 5 days a week from Monday to Friday. The 5 structures provide regular duty stations, dedicating staff. Any person received as part of the reception will then be referred, depending on the maturity of his project, to one of the partners. If it does not fall under EIC, it will be oriented towards another accompanying device.
