Acceleration funds will fill in the missing link, state support during the commercialisation stage of ideas. The new funds will focus on this stage, especially in the segment of innovations and technology-intensive fields. We plan that acceleration and investment support will be provided to approximately 120 perspective ideas. In the pre-seed stage, the maximum available financing will amount to 50,000 euros, in further stages the best ideas will be able to receive funding up to 250,000 euros. The currently developed model of acceleration funds in Latvia is recognised as one of the most successful, according to local and international specialists. The industry has supported the necessity of this instrument, the selected model, as well as expressed support to its implementation. This allows us to hope that Latvia could attract promising ideas from other countries as well.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The acceleration funds will focus on commercialisation of ideas in the stage when the product\u2019s idea has been developed and possibly its prototype has been created, however, it requires testing, improvement, seeking of target markets and development of business concepts. The acceleration programme will provide acceleration services (paid and for free) and venture capital investments in the form of loans, capital of quasi-capital.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Financial intermediaries or funds\u2019 managers are welcome to submit their applications until 10 April 2017. The winners will be selected on the basis of the following key criteria:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Experience in venture capital investments and increase of value thereof;<\/li><li>Management plan for the acceleration programme;<\/li><li>Experience in organising acceleration programmes and the achieved results;<\/li><li>Financial proposal (private capital involvement in the fund and funds\u2019 management fee).<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The acceleration funds might start operating in the third quarter of 2017. ALTUM will separately and publicly announce a meeting of candidates to explain requirements for the procurement and answer questions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"news-opening__main\">\u00a0<\/div>\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>Today, 15 February, the Development Financial Institution ALTUM announced a procurement of selection of acceleration funds\u2019 managers.\u00a0 Acceleration is a completely new activity for Latvia provided to support companies in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
