Description

The innovation cheque funds a market potential study to assess the demand, scalability, and systemic impact of Pathways+, an innovation planned with SINGA, the national leader in refugee entrepreneurship support. With Pathways+, SINGA aims to expand and scale its services through a new B2G business model based on structured collaboration with cantonal RAVs and communal Social Services.

It seeks to reduce welfare dependency and costs, mitigate the social and health effects of long-term underemployment, and unlock untapped entrepreneurial potential.
