Young Entrepreneurs Initiative (YEI)
The Young Entrepreneurs Initiative (YEI) is a program that promotes the creation of innovative businesses in France by researchers/businesspeople living in the United States, without age or nationality restrictions. YEI recipients receive personal assistance from a host organization that will help them create their network of contacts and put into action their business project in France. They receive monetary aid that will help them fund approximately two, week-long trips to France.
Focus is put on research parks, money given to booster competitiveness (YEI public financing, CIR, and Innovative Business Creation Competition), and the work of our partners (testers, capital risk ventures, research organizations, economic development agencies).
