A pre-incubation program for newcomers willing to become entrepreneurs and start a business in France!
Up Collective is a European program run in France, the UK and the Netherlands, that aims to support refugee entrepreneurs in developing their financial autonomy through entrepreneurship and employment. This is done through a unique mix of intensive design-based training, the possibility to access a dedicated coach, and opportunities for employment or internships.
How does Up Collective work?
Up Collective has merged in our wider Career Accelerator program, Fast Forward, to support 30 women with migration background to fast-track their careers through entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, or a combination of both.
Opportunities to take part in next-generation online and in-person workshops are provided to cultivate transversal skills for both the entrepreneurial mindset as well as more traditional employment in the corporate world.
Throughout the program, participants receive:
- A series of professional training opportunities to develop the necessary skills for their personal career goals
- Opportunities to develop their innovative entrepreneurial projects
- Personalised guidance and support through monthly calls with a dedicated coach
- Opportunities to grow their network in a vibrant innovation ecosystem
- A global community of peers who can offer you support, connections, and friendships for a lifetime
