About Seraina Soldner:

Seraina Soldner is the co-founder and former co-director of SINGA Switzerland, an incubator for projects built by people with a refugee or migrant background, and currently a project scout at Migros Pioneer Fund, the development fund of the Migros Group. She holds an MA in International Affairs and Law from the Geneva Graduate Institute and previously worked for the UN Refugee Agency and the Munich Refugee Council before starting SINGA’s Swiss chapter in 2016.

SINGA is a unique incubator with the purpose to enhance entrepreneurial skills and provide a local network for people with refugee and migrant backgrounds. They facilitate access to the Swiss labor market by running a variety of start up and mentoring programs. 25% of participants found a business/an association and 100% of participants feel more part of Swiss society after participating. The SINGA Factory is made possible by the Migros Pioneer Fund, part of the social commitment of the Migros Group. The original SINGA was founded in 2012 in Paris.

The Migros Pioneer Fund was also founded in 2012 and has since been actively searching for projects with a long-term benefit to society, and financially supporting them for between three and five years.
