Spring 2027 Cohort · Applications open|SPRING 2027

Going global? What you need is
an aircraft carrier

We are that carrier — turning your France expansion into a charted, stage-by-stage, verifiable voyage.

Your jets win the market; the carrier makes sure they have a deck, fuel, radar and escort. Bozhi Chuhai is a Sino-French team resident in Paris — from French company formation and compliance to signing your first European order, we stay on board the whole way. We never deliver a slide deck and sail away.
You fly the missions and take the credit; we make sure you can take off — and make it back.

* Internal statistics of Bozhi Chuhai portfolio projects, 2023–2026, as of September 2026. "Landed" means a French entity was established and entered commercial operation; "funding" is the cumulative amount introduced into closing processes, not a promise or assets under management. Methodology and details available in the assessment interview.

01 BRIDGE / Command Judgement

Without a carrier,
jets cannot fly far

One aircraft crossing the ocean alone struggles not with flying, but with having nowhere to refuel, no radar, and no one to warn of minefields ahead. Four things actually stop France market-entry projects — we name them plainly, and their solutions too.

01 / HULL · Reefs

Entity & liability architecture

SAS or SARL? How to set share capital, equity structure and director liability. A step saved at formation is often repaid tenfold at fundraising, M&A or exit.

Carrier solutionArchitecture and tax research completed before filing — a written plan first, then submission.
02 / MINEFIELD

GDPR & data compliance

GDPR does not end with a privacy policy. The CNIL has specific requirements on cookie consent, retention periods and cross-border transfers; retrofitting after launch costs far more than building it right beforehand.

Carrier solutionData-flow mapping and compliance audit completed before launch, delivered as an auditable dossier.
03 / HEADWIND

Language & decision logic

French enterprise procurement is long-chain, document-heavy and relationship-driven. English opens doors; French contracts and local faces carry negotiations to signature.

Carrier solutionOur bilingual Sino-French team owns the materials, meetings and negotiations end-to-end — not second-hand interpreting.
04 / SUPPLY

The first European order

Without local trust, channels do not open doors for a freshly-registered foreign company. An office with no revenue is the most common sunk cost of going global.

Carrier solutionDirect introductions to 200+ French and European decision-makers, with signed deals as a project acceptance milestone.

02 HOME PORT / Europe

France is not the destination —
it is the home port

A carrier needs a port where it can dock, refuel and cover the whole sea. We only give reasons that translate into action: market access, funding routes, founder status, ecosystem density — each backed by a concrete service deliverable.

01 / MARKET

One port, 27 countries

Once you establish a French entity, products and services circulate freely in the EU single market — no re-incorporation and no duplicated compliance country by country. 67 million French consumers and the purchasing power of Europe's second-largest economy make the most realistic proving ground for your first customers.

What it meansNo need to spread a limited budget across five countries: prove unit economics in France first, then radiate across Europe.
02 / CAPITAL

Dense refuelling network

Bpifrance's French Tech Grants and innovation loans, the CIR R&D tax credit (30% of qualifying R&D expenditure), and the EU's EIC Accelerator grant-plus-equity support form a non-dilutive funding chain from pre-seed to scale-up.

What it meansRange does not have to come from equity dilution alone; eligibility assessment and application preparation are part of our standard service.
03 / VISA

A clear boarding channel for founders

The French Tech Visa / Passeport Talent – Création d'entreprise gives qualifying founders a renewable 4-year residence permit, with spouse and children eligible to join. The most overlooked — yet most landing-quality-critical — piece for Chinese teams.

What it meansFounders genuinely relocate to lead the team, instead of remotely piloting a shell company from China.
04 / ECOSYSTEM

A concentrated port ecosystem

Station F, the La French Tech network, and industry clusters with distinct strengths in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Grenoble. Customers, engineering talent, investors and professional services are highly concentrated.

What it meansOne trip can cover a week of meetings — the scarcest early-stage resource, time, is dramatically compressed.

SHANGHAI → PARIS · A CHART / DELIVERABLES / VERIFIABLE STAGES

Departing from Shanghai,
docking in Paris

Crossing the ocean is never hard at the start. What matters is whether there is refuelling along the way, someone who reads the charts, and someone already waiting at the quay when you dock. We turn these three layers of assurance into an acceptance-tested service.
