Born in China, Jean Guo grew up in the United States. As a child, she noticed the barriers that people with an immigrant background faced, especially when they did not speak the language of the host country and deplored the poor possibilities of building a professional network.
In 2015, when she moved to France after obtaining the Fullbright grant, Jean Guo studied the economic and health difficulties of marginalized populations as a researcher at Paris School of Economics. She very quickly wondered how she could immediately help these people. In 2016, she co-founded Konexio with the aim of making digital accessible to all. The structure thus offers training in digital skills – from the most basic to the most advanced – to promote socio-professional integration.
Organized on March 10th at the Friche de la Belle de Mai in Marseille, the Universités de l’Economie de Demain provided an opportunity to identify five proposals to help companies make their ecological transition.
Among them, more advantageous taxation for companies that respect the environment or even a support system for young companies in ecological innovation. As such, the Mouvement Impact France supports the model of the “mission-based” company which seeks, beyond simple profitability, to make a positive contribution to society.
So many proposals to be found in the Manifesto of the economy of tomorrow.
It all started in 2020 with the meeting of Céline and Sebastien Meslin, founders of the Vicartem group and Romain Gowhari, formerly in hotel consulting. During their exchanges, the latter realizes that they have all the cards in hand to meet the management needs of investors and hotel operators.
Together, they created Younignt Hospitality, a company whose vocation is to support hotel professionals from the acquisition of their hotels to their operation, including their renovation, the creation of a new hotel concept, their architecture or their design.
The company now has a portfolio of ten hotels and 40 apartments under management with the ambition of thirty establishments operated in France and Europe by 2030.
