In total, we received seven bids, and we assessed the experience of the proposed team as regards funds management and enabling successful operation of business plans and financial funds.<br \/><br \/>The assessment took more than 2 months and a lot of effort to carefully select the best tenderers, and we took advantage of recommendations provided by leading risk capital experts from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). We hope to sign the contracts on second half of July to launch the cooperation with the young and upcoming idea generators. I invite the young businessmen be active and take the opportunity to receive unprecedented financial aid and professional business consultations in Latvia.\u201c<\/p><p>The tenderers were assessed by ALTUM, leading experts representing the Ministry of Economics and Ministry of Finance, along with key risk capital experts by EBRD.<\/p><p>The idea of acceleration is to help promising ideas of high value added to take the first steps. Acceleration funds will act as the missing gap \u2013 state aid \u2013 in the commercialisation of ideas. The new funds will address exactly this stage with the focus on innovation and technology-intensive companies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The procurement on selection of acceleration funds administrators by Development Finance Institution ALTUM has concluded.
