Get your ticket to Paris and launch your startup in a unique tech ecosystem

The French government has announced a new entrepreneur visa package called the French Tech Ticket.
This new package enables foreign entrepreneurs to get a work visa, a $14,000-$28,000 grant (€12,500-€25,000) for each team member, free office space in a Parisian incubator, administrative assistance, and many other advantages.
Every six months, 50 entrepreneurs will be awarded this French Tech Ticket and will have the chance to work closely with leading French incubators that will provide them with mentoring, fundraising strategies, expert advice, and pitch practice.
To be eligible you’ll have to be part of an early stage start-up with plans to develop the business in France. You can have up to three people in your team (with only one French citizen allowed per team), speak English fluently, and be able to relocate to Paris for at least 6 months.
The first batch will start the program in January 2016. The first round of applications closes on September 15th 2015.
Calendar, eligibility, partner incubators - all these details of the program are on the French Tech Ticket website.
