Beyond this presence at one of Europe’s most influential trade shows, this initiative reflects a conviction held by SINGA: talent exists everywhere, but opportunities remain unevenly accessible. By building bridges with committed companies, SINGA enables entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds to access the networks, partners, and visibility essential to developing their projects.

“I found myself here thanks to the partnership between SINGA and KPMG Engagement Citoyen. It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase my project and Gabriel’s technology for drivers.”

Mouhamed Diop, founder of Gabriel

Four projects addressing societal challenges

Gabriel, founded by Mouhamed Diop, helps independent taxi and ride-hailing drivers transition to electric vehicles, making the shift more accessible and more profitable.

With Spica, Elizaveta Pavlova is reinventing language learning through a platform built around challenges, collaboration, and project-based work.

Phoebe, developed by Paran Tanzifi and Kianoosh Kani, uses artificial intelligence to offer a social prediction platform for the video game industry.

Finally, Grantora, created by Rezk Issa, helps local NGOs meet the requirements of international funders by simplifying the production of deliverables and showcasing the expertise of grassroots organizations.

Together, these projects reflect the diversity of the initiatives supported by SINGA Paris and their ability to offer innovative responses to economic, social, and environmental challenges.

A partnership that creates real opportunities

For many young companies, attending an event like VivaTech is far more than a showcase. It’s a chance to meet future clients, partners, or investors, and to gain visibility within a particularly competitive ecosystem.

Several visitors praised this initiative. Here’s what they had to say:

“I think it’s extraordinary that a large company can highlight profiles from diverse backgrounds so they can get the visibility they deserve.”

Marie Pignier, head of the Profylles Method

“The first challenge for a startup is finding customers. I think this kind of initiative helps startups shine.”

Antoine Palisson, co-founder of Way Up

By facilitating this participation, the partnership between KPMG Engagement Citoyen and SINGA Paris shows that collaboration between a company and a nonprofit can have a concrete impact on the growth of young businesses. Beyond the event itself, it helps open doors, create connections, and strengthen access to opportunities that are often decisive in an entrepreneurial journey.

Making diversity a driver of innovation

At SINGA, supporting an entrepreneurial project isn’t just about backing an idea. It’s also about helping entrepreneurs with international backgrounds fully integrate into economic networks and gain recognition for their expertise.

The presence of these four entrepreneurs at VivaTech is a concrete illustration of this. Thanks to the commitment of partners like KPMG Engagement Citoyen, SINGA continues to pursue its mission: building a more open, more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that better reflects the diversity of talent.
