Hello Tomorrow
Innovation Alliance

Singapore-based companies to France.
We help you develop a targeted market-access strategy, and
connect you to the right potential customers, suppliers, and partners,
leveraging Hello Tomorrow’s mentorship network,
in-house consulting team, and business events.
Our 2021 run has just concluded (in case you were wondering,
it went so great - updates coming soon!).

Why France?
France offers one of the most generous R&D tax incentives among OECD and partner economies, making it that much easier launching deep-tech startups or investing in R&D. It also offers a special French Tech Visa - a simplified, fast-track scheme for non-EU startup employees, founders, and investors to obtain a residence permit for France.
Generous Incentives
Nearly half of all adults in France have a tertiary degree, and the proportion of graduates in natural sciences, mathematics, and statistics is one of the highest among OECD countries. France also ranks 7th in the world for hourly labour productivity, ahead of Germany (8th) and the UK (18th).
