Main activity
Putting entrepreneurs in the Greater Region in contact with private investors for the financing of projects to
create, take over or develop innovative start-ups
Seed4Start is a cross-border venture capital platform in the Greater
Region.
Launched in September 2012, this project is coordinated by a group
of professionals who are strongly rooted in their region and experts
in this very specific area (Ader Investissements, BeAngels, LBAN -
Luxembourg Business Angels Network), under the aegis of Business
Initiative, a non-profit association that brings together the Luxembourg
Chamber of Commerce, Luxinnovation (National Agency for Innovation
and Research) and the FEDIL (Business Federation Luxembourg) and
CCI O2Bilan, a mechanism to help with venture risk financing set up
in 2008 by the Lorraine Region chambers of commerce and industry.
The aim of this platform is to help entrepreneurs in
the Greater Region to secure the capital they need for
their projects to create, take over or develop innovative
start-ups, by assisting them in making contact with
private investors. The project is co-financed by the
INTERREG IV A Greater Region programme.
