Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS FRANCE FY2021 06
The U.S. Embassy in France is inviting organizations to apply for a grant to run the Start US Up - Marseille program, which focuses on entrepreneurship and leadership for 20-30 participants from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region. This initiative, established in 2014, aims to enhance participants' business skills through workshops on crucial topics like pitching, business planning, and financial management, while also incorporating sports activities that foster teamwork and leadership.
The selected partner organization will develop and deliver a six-month program that includes weekly workshops led by experts, project development support, and English classes to prepare participants for presenting their business ideas in an international context. Sports activities such as boxing and running will help participants build confidence and leadership skills. The program culminates in a pitch event at the U.S. Embassy, where participants can present their business projects to a professional jury.
A key component of the program is collaboration with the Start US Up Paris chapter, requiring joint activities each month and a focus on sustainable businesses linked to the themes of the Paris and Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2024 and 2028. Preference will be given to startups with social impact, aligning with the program’s goals of fostering innovation, solidarity, and sustainable development.
The grant recipient will also need to develop a strong communications strategy to promote the program, highlight participant successes, and engage with various stakeholders, including the U.S. Embassy and potential partners. The target audience includes engaged youth aged 18-35 with entrepreneurial projects connected to the Olympic legacy, reflecting diverse economic and educational backgrounds.Apply for PAS FRANCE FY2021 06
