Program description

Entrepreneurs in the creative and cultural industries are not like other entrepreneurs. They work in complex, fragile economies, and need to be supported by incubators that understand them. 

How can we identify a suitable business model for projects that are often the fruit of the entrepreneur's passion? How to make the transition from artist to artist-entrepreneur? These are just some of the questions addressed by the Pali Pali incubator through its Next Level support program. This program has already supported such well-known players as Delitoon, Five Oh, Live magazine, Poolpio, Modul-R, Collectible and others.

The program focuses on the project's business development (business model, prototyping, market access, administrative and financial management), entrepreneurial skills and integration into the ecosystem of cultural and creative activities.

Support costs 250 euros (excl. VAT) per month, with free access to Pali Pali workspaces.

Methodology

The pali pali methodology is based on two principles: mixed cohorts (different types of projects to encourage collaboration) and personalized support (to be as close as possible to the real needs of companies).

Support is divided into two programs. Firstly, the "fundamentals", to ensure that entrepreneurs are supported by solid skills. Then there are the "specific" programs, from which the company chooses those best suited to its needs.

Support includes :

  • Entrepreneurial training (support focused on 4 pillars: from idea to business, digital strategy, entrepreneurial posture, financing).
  • Individual and group training (excluding mentoring and networking evenings).
  • Access to a support community (events, network), and a network of experts (over 300 alumni former entrepreneurs),
  • Access to all pali pali locations as a workspace.
