French Alps International Softlandings Exchange project (FAISE)

Even at the startup stage there are strategic issues at stake in terms of international development!
Addressing international markets is not an easy task indeed when you are a startup, and this is what decided several actors from French Tech in the Alps to launch the French Alps International Softlandings Exchange (FAISE)  project. This ambitious endeavor is supported by a National Grant through the French Tech initiative and administered by a local consortium including French Tech in the Alps, Invest in Grenoble Alpes, and the local incubators Tarmac at Inovallée and Savoie Technolac. Several other local partners are involved, as are other international entities, in Asia and North America.
The program includes a series of Bootcamps in Taiwan (Taipei), British Columbia (Vancouver) and in the French Alps area (Grenoble), with dedicated masterclasses introducing the candidates to the local ecosystems in each country, immersion into the local incubators, connections and ad hoc support for innovation via industrial partner contacts. This first year of the project will include validation of the program, testing of the advantages and/or bottlenecks and study of the expansion to additional partner international ecosystems in Asia, North America and Europe, on a long-term basis.
In addition to, and alongside the FAISE program, Invest in Grenoble Alpes’ free services are ALWAYS available to international entrepreneurs exploring opportunities in the area and are detailed in the above sections (Personalized Services, Welcome Package, etc.).
