This 6 to 9 month program (depending on the city) will help you develop your idea and get started! You will learn the basics of administrative and financial management, develop your communication skills, work on your public speaking and, above all, expand your network – the key to successfully developing your project and finding your first customers.
What is incubation?
SINGA’s incubation program is open to newcomers as well as locals with projects related to migration and inclusion. In total, 1 to 2 promotions per year, lasting 6 to 9 months depending on the city.
The program guides you through the launch of your business or association, offering human support, monthly group workshops, public events, and network building with mentors and expert contacts. During the program, you will develop your value proposition, deepen your market research, work on your business model and business plan. You will also learn how to communicate about your project, test your ideas and, above all, find your first customers. Improve your public speaking skills and, above all, expand your network to launch your project.
The incubation program can also serve as preparation for more advanced programs at SINGA (acceleration program) or elsewhere!
