- SINGA Paris

Take your project to the next level.
Your project has been running for at least 2 years, and you generate sales of at least €5,000 a year? Would you like to get your organization off the ground?
The SINGA acceleration program is for you. We offer you 9 months of tailor-made support, with numerous meetings with experts and professionals from the ecosystem. Our goal: to enable you to scale up, strengthen your network and leadership, and potentially raise funds.
What is acceleration?
SINGA’s Acceleration Program is open to newcomers as well as local people when they have projects related to migration and inclusion. The program is organized around 1 promotion per year, over a period of 9 months. The program currently only exists in Paris (in person) and Switzerland (online).
The accelerator program helps companies already up and running to scale up, in particular by providing access to financing opportunities.
SINGA also offers customized support in financing strategy, marketing, communication, human resources and relationship-building. Thanks to a network of partners and investors, we can help you raise pre-seed funds (from €20,000 to €500,000) and find non-dilutive financing!
