The problem has risen to the attention of investors and policymakers alike. New lines of public, private or hybrid funding are emerging to bridge the deadly gap. Funding sources are for example venture capitals, corporate venture capitals, business angels, banks, or impact investors.

The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, organises the EU Clusters Talk “Private financing for clusters and projects: Options to access new funding sources” on 19 April 2023, 8:30 – 9:45 CET, to raise awareness about other funding sources than public funding programmes, discuss how to search for new funding sources, and how to access private financing for clusters, SMEs, and projects.

Speakers will include:
• Bianca Dragomir, Director, AVAESEN;
• Gisela Sanchez, European Project Manager, Finance Innovation.
