European Support for Start-ups: „How does the EU support Start-ups?“

Event Details

A seminar about initiatives and funding opportunities for Start-ups

EU-funding programs and initiatives offer a broad variety of support for European Start-ups: the opportunities offered reach from feasibility studies to prototype development, market entry or scaling.

The EU funding program ‚Horizon 2020‘ provides EUR 2,8 billion for Start-ups – but what is the program actually supporting and what requirements do I have to meet to become a Start-up eligible for funding?

In the context of the seminar ‘European support for Start-ups’ you will learn more about initiatives and funding opportunities on European level and how you as Start-up could profit from those initiatives and programs.
