STARTUP PROGRAM
A toolbox to build your plane in mid-flight
Because there is no ideal roadmap for creating a startup and everyone has their own specific questions,
there is no preconceived programme at the Tarmac. We provide a kind of contractor's toolbox
from which to draw as he wanders. No promotions either, because the startups get on board or
take off throughout the year. But don't worry, you'll be able to talk about all the subjects you want to talk about.
