Mobile Hexagon
No matter what anyone says, France has a fine entrepreneurial spirit and is nurturing talents who are eager to express their spirit of initiative and creativity. The young generation of entrepreneurs is hoping for only one thing, to be able to prove that with a little less means than their elders, they can do just as well or even better. We have often devalued the role of the boss and stigmatized him as the villain of the company. Recent studies have shown that a number of future working people have the ambition to start their own business. Many already have their ideas and a well-established and well-developed project.
We will see that young companies such as Hexagone Mobile, Tilkee or SKYdeals are examples for the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow. They prove that our country still has resources and can definitely create wealth. We have a pool of young entrepreneurs ready to embark on a great adventure. Many of them have gone abroad and learned from the experiences they have gained in other countries. We need to make this a real strength and allow them to implement the ideas they have grown while in other countries. We need to invest in young people and in the desire to conquer the world and make a difference. Let us cultivate and grow the entrepreneurial spirit.
Hexagone Mobile, an eco-responsible vision.
Smartphones are turning the heads of many people and the latest innovations are being snapped up in just a few hours at a golden price. The prices of these little technological gems have skyrocketed and it is difficult for the most high-tech enthusiasts to keep up with the often frantic releases of new models. Knowing that a new mobile phone loses between 50 and 100 euros in a few days, some people have seen it as a way to reconvert phones that have been little used and thus avoid overproduction and the non-recycling of polluting parts that are still present in our smartphones. The company is positioning itself on a market that wants to highlight eco-responsibility and prove that it is possible to consume better even in areas where there is an abundant supply.
The Aix-en-Provence-based start-up has decided to give a second life to mobiles that have often not lived a third of their lives. It is therefore unnecessary to put them immediately into retirement and it is totally possible to find a second youth for them. The reconditioning of mobiles is attracting more and more people and has become a very buoyant market. Amine Ben Abdallah is the founder of this young company which quickly took off and is now a reference in this field. This young business school graduate had the guts to take the plunge even as he began his first year at university. A fine example to be publicized
Tilkee, or how do we know if we’ve read your documents correctly?
A rather long title but this Lyon-based start-up has developed a concept that is both simple and complex. Who never knows how much time a client, recruiter or simply a colleague has spent on a sent document? This is what Tilkee offers. The ability to find out whether your file, quote or CV was a success or whether it was only consulted for about ten seconds. This gives you more than direct feedback and gives you the opportunity to anticipate or modify your offer. This is a small revolution in the world of sales because it is now possible to analyze the reading behavior of commercial documents.
Tilkee did not stop at commercial documents, but also tackled the field of marketing and jobs. For the former, it allows you to easily manage the distribution of your documents, to control the efficiency of your content in real time and to compare the efficiency of your documents. You also have access to detailed statistics on the reading of your leads and you quickly transfer your leads to the members of your sales team. For the second, you can add your CV, cover letter and all your achievements to Tilkee. This allows you to generate an access link to your documents and send an access link in the body of your email to the recruiter. An alert is then sent to you when the recruiter consults your documents and you know what he has looked at from your application and you can contact him again at the right time. A very good concept to try.
SKYdeals, shopping at more than 10,000 km high
We’ve all become a bit addicted to online shopping and we’ve gotten used to being able to buy whenever and wherever we are. So it was only natural that we came to be able to shop online even on intercontinental flights. SKYdeals answered this call and developed an application on smartphone and tablet that allows us to shop at duty free prices during our flights. Playing Pretty Woman thousands of miles above the cowboy floor is not for everyone, is it?
The little detail that does is that all prices are presented with a discount. The advantage of having the duty free at hand, or rather click. No more queuing at the cash registers or rushing to have time to compare prices and be sure to get the best deal. You will now have time to spend your 10 hours of flight time browsing the different categories offered by the application. SKYdeals has been able to adapt to the new desires and ways of consuming of travellers.
These three examples – Hexagone Mobile, Tilkee and SKYdeals – show that our country has resources and driving forces that are ready to undertake and take over.
