POINT OF VIEW #2

September 2020

Optimism, knowing how to learn from the crisis. The desire to look beyond it and even turn it into an asset, a force for change. That is the theme underlying the testimonies in this second edition of “Our Points of View” from Initiative & Finance. This September edition is a chance to look back on the recent health crisis and its repercussions on the business and the daily life of SMEs.
