Entrepreneurship with SINGA in 2026: applications are now open throughout France
In 2026, SINGA opened applications in several cities in France—Paris, Lyon, Lille, and Bordeaux—to support entrepreneurs developing impactful projects related to inclusion and migration.
In France, it takes a newcomer an average of nearly ten years to find a job equivalent to the one they had in their country of origin. Discrimination in hiring, language barriers, and non-recognition of degrees or experience: this professional downgrading pushes many people to reinvent themselves, often by turning to entrepreneurship.
Turning an idea into a project: SINGA support
For over 10 years, SINGA has been supporting people who want to turn an idea into a concrete entrepreneurial or community project. Within the network, more than 1,400 projects have already been supported in France and internationally.
In 2026, SINGA incubators are offering six months of free support designed to:
- Take your project to the next level and make it a reality
- Secure the first steps: legal status, business model, product testing, prospecting, entrepreneurial mindset
- Build confidence through a supportive and stimulating group environment
- Access a local, national, and international network, as well as mentors and individual coaching sessions
Supported projects can come from any sector—food, tech, crafts, education, AI, social economy, media, social impact—as long as they are part of a socially useful or inclusive approach.
Who can apply?
SINGA programs are aimed at project leaders at various stages of progress, provided they are able to actively participate in a collective program.
They are open to people who:
- have already launched a project or plan to launch one in the coming months
- are fluent in French or English
- can actively participate in a collective program
and who are:
- beneficiaries of international protection or a residence permit allowing them to undertake entrepreneurial activities,
or - have a project related to inclusion and migration.
Why start a business with SINGA?
“SINGA’s support helped me structure my project, gain confidence, and become part of an ecosystem much larger than my individual initiative. ”
— Qais Rahmani, co-founder of Abajad Global, SINGA Paris incubator
