An Evening to Celebrate Entrepreneurship and Diversity

This event was an opportunity for these entrepreneurs to pitch their projects in front of an audience: around a hundred participants gathered to discover initiatives in diverse fields such as food services, human permaculture, fashion, and many more.

At SINGA Lille, we believe that cultural diversity is a powerful driver of innovation. Our mission is to empower talented individuals from around the world to unlock their potential and contribute to society through entrepreneurship.
