Les Premières

Fédération Les Premières is a French network dedicated to women’s entrepreneurship, diversity and gender balance. Established in 2003, it supports women entrepreneurs and mixed teams as they create and develop innovative businesses with social or environmental impact. With 25 local branches across metropolitan and overseas France, the network works close to regional business communities and also connects members to international opportunities.

Les Premières offers tailored business support designed around each founder and project. Its services include entrepreneurship training, practical workshops, peer collaboration and personal coaching to strengthen entrepreneurial confidence and leadership. Incubator programs help founders identify markets, shape their business ideas and build sustainable companies. The network welcomes innovation across many industries, not only technology and digital sectors, and supports ventures that address unmet needs, create jobs or offer new solutions.

A national community of entrepreneurs, experts, partners and supporters underpins its work. Les Premières also shares founder stories and practical insights through its news and portrait features, while inviting individuals and organisations to support women-led enterprise through partnerships and sponsorship.
