Supporting entrepreneurs through public and semi-public institutions — Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI), Chambers of Crafts and Trades (CMA), incubators, business incubators — is a pillar of territorial economic policy. In 2024, French CCIs supported over 470,000 project holders according to the annual report by CCI France. However, human resources remain limited in the face of growing demand.
The challenge: supporting more with the same resources
CCI advisors and incubator coaches face a difficult equation: each project holder requires personalized support (market research, business plan, legal status choice, financing search), but the time available per file decreases mechanically with the increase in flow.
According to an internal CCI France survey (2024), a business creation advisor supports an average of 80 to 120 project holders per year. The average time spent on each file is 4 to 8 hours, a significant portion of which is dedicated to document production (business plans, market studies) rather than strategic advice.
BoostPro AI as an institutional tool
Free access for institutions
CCIs, CMAs, local authorities, and public incubators benefit from free access to the BoostPro AI platform via the institutional space. This access includes:
- Dedicated portal with institutional dashboard
- Usage statistics by territory and business sector
- Promotional codes to distribute to entrepreneurs in the territory
- Impact reports on digital support
Distribution of promotional codes
The distribution mechanism is designed to integrate into existing support pathways:
- The institution receives a batch of promotional codes (discount of 20 to 100% depending on the agreement)
- The CCI advisor or incubator coach distributes a code to each project holder they support
- The entrepreneur uses the code to access BoostPro AI modules at reduced or no cost
- The generated report serves as a working basis for follow-up meetings
This model allows the institution to multiply its impact without increasing its staff. The advisor focuses on analysis and strategic advice, while document production is automated by AI.
API integration for digital institutions
Institutions with a digital portal can go further by integrating the BoostPro AI API directly into their support platform. The entrepreneur accesses the modules from their CCI or incubator portal, never leaving the institutional environment.
Benefits of API integration
- Seamless journey: the entrepreneur stays within the institution's digital ecosystem
- Territorial data: the institution has aggregated statistics on projects in its territory
- Co-branding: reports are generated under the institution's brand
- GDPR compliance: data remains hosted in Europe (OVH)
Examples of use by institution type
CCI — Chamber of Commerce and Industry
The CCI integrates the aid simulator into its pre-diagnosis pathway. Every entrepreneur who presents at the single window receives a code to freely simulate their eligible aid. The result serves as the basis for the appointment with the financing advisor.
The CCI can also offer collective sessions: "My business plan in 1 hour" workshops where each participant uses the BoostPro AI Business Plan module to produce an initial deliverable, later refined with the advisor.
CMA — Chamber of Crafts and Trades
Craftspeople and merchants represent a specific audience that often has less access to digital tools. The CMA can distribute free access codes to the Legal Status and Aid Simulator modules, the two most frequently expressed needs by entrepreneur craftspeople.
Incubators and business incubators
Incubators can integrate the modules into their structured support program. Each stage of the program corresponds to a module:
- Ideation phase: Market research (target market validation)
- Structuring phase: Business plan + Legal status
- Launch phase: Media plan + Aid simulator
- Growth phase: Tax optimization
Local authorities
Regions, departments, and metropolitan areas that fund entrepreneurial support can enter into agreements with BoostPro AI to offer free access to all entrepreneurs in their territory. A territorial dashboard makes it possible to measure impact: number of entrepreneurs supported, business sectors, identified aid amounts.
How to enter into an agreement
- Contact the institutional team via the dedicated space on boostpro-ia.eu
- Define the scope (modules, number of entrepreneurs, duration)
- Sign the partnership agreement (free for public institutions)
- Receive access to the institutional portal and promotional codes
- Train advisors on how to use the modules (2-hour session)
The entire system is free for public and para-public institutions. No financial commitment is required.
