Since July, our fifteen creative entrepreneurs have been working hard to implement their projects and get their businesses off the ground!
The first months of incubation were rich and intense for the supported start-ups. With the continued support of their incubator, each company pursued its acceleration objectives and implemented its action plan. It was an opportunity to reflect on its business strategy, define a marketing plan, recruit new talent, train its teams, purchase equipment, set up its premises, or prepare the launch of new products and create innovative content.
Here is an overview of the key activities of our entrepreneurs:
- In July, Cloud Visual Art went to Senegal to launch Sprint'Art Senegal, its program for African artists. This program aims to support young talents by offering them the opportunity to boost their careers. In total, 8 Senegalese artists participated in this week of training. In 2025, Sprint'Art will go to meet Ivorian artists!
- This summer, the studio Les Bonnes Ondes has been given a new fresh look. Development work has been carried out to improve sound recording and allow for optimal production of their future podcasts. Listen to their latest episodes here !
