France/Grand Narbonne and the Association of Commercial Court Judges together for local businesses
With the IN'ESS in the process of being rewritten, Grand Narbonne and the Association des Juges du Tribunal de Commerce (Association of Commercial Court Judges) have signed a partnership agreement to better serve businesses, particularly those in difficulty.
On Friday May 23 at 9:30 am, at IN'ESS, Grand Narbonne and the Association des Juges et Anciens Juges du Tribunal de Commerce de Narbonne signed an agreement aimed, among other things, at providing support to companies in difficulty.
Economic activity falls within the remit of the Grand Narbonne, and is directly linked to businesses. The aim is also to demystify the role of the commercial court, whose sole vocation is not to liquidate companies, but to inform them of the possibilities available to help them. "Conciliation and the ad hoc mandate are mechanisms that can help a company in difficulty," explains Jean-Pierre Cassan, former president of the Commercial Court and current president of the Association of Judges and Former Judges of the Commercial Court of Narbonne.
The aim of this agreement is to offer companies free, confidential advice as early as possible, before it's too late. Unfortunately, today, seven out of ten companies that go to court are directly liquidated.
Jean-Michel Alvarez, vice-president of Grand Narbonne and responsible, among other things, for the economy, economic recovery and innovation, and Jean-Pierre Cassan have signed a partnership agreement to this effect.
In addition, IN'ESS, which took possession of the former DOT premises ten years ago, opened its doors to its partners and local residents to talk about its current situation and, above all, its future by "rewriting its roadmap", with an exhibition of souvenir photos and projects. The Fab Lab, which currently occupies 70m², will gain 100m² to better fulfill its function. IN'ESS wants to define itself more as a "tiers-lieu": a flexible, hybrid space for meeting, sharing and nurturing initiatives.
