Launch of Paris French Tech Ticket: develop your start-up in France !

As part of the French Tech initiative, France is launching the Paris French Tech Ticket to welcome foreign entrepreneurs who wish to launch or develop their start-up in Paris.

An innovative ecosystem : France welcome start-ups!

Teeming with innovation hubs and talents energized by an entrepreneurial mindset, France welcomes start-ups and fosters their  development. As a force for value and job creation, start-ups are bound to become more global, as they bring talents and  investors from all around the globe to France.

With over 40 incubators, 80 coworking spaces, 20 fablabs, almost 1500 new start-ups created each year and a multiplication of  success stories, Paris shows an exceptional dynamism, which is acknowledged in international rankings.

Paris French Tech Ticket: develop your start-up in Paris!

The vitality of an innovative ecosystem stems from the diversity of its members: the “French Tech Ticket” program aims to bring  international entrepreneurs to France, where they can launch or develop their ambitious entrepreneurial project.

Paris French Tech Ticket is a pilot session, leading the way to a larger program encompassing all the French Tech Metropoles  from 2016 onwards.

This program includes a stipend of 12500€ per founding member over six months, free accommodation and help to relocate to  Paris. Foreign entrepreneurs from all around the world are eligible, even if they are already based in France – finishing their  studies, for example. Teams of up to three founders are eligible, and can include up to one French member. 50 entrepreneurs are  expected for the first 6 month session in Paris.

A first trial run of the program will be launched in Paris from September 2015 onwards:

• June 2015: Launch of the online platform for project applications.
• End of September 2015: Applications close.
• December 2015: The laureates are announced.
• January 2016: The first laureates arrive in France.
