French term

entreprendre

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This may seem simple, but I'm looking for a one-word translation of the concept. The context is a consulting firm's presentation of what it does to help entrepreneurs.

"A l’interface de la science et du business, nous aidons les responsables R&D, les responsables marketing & ventes ainsi que les directions générales et d’unités à résoudre leurs problèmes et à concrétiser leurs idées. Plus que conseiller nos clients, nous les aidons à progresser, à faire avancer leurs projets, à développer leur activité. A ***entreprendre.***"
Change log

Oct 29, 2008 13:05: Gayle Wallimann changed "Term asked" from "entreprendre (see context)" to "entreprendre"

to be enterprising

It's not one word, but it seems close to what they're getting at.
