Objective
"e-NEC, New European Capital" was a Demonstration Project designed to build upon the successful results of the "NEC-New Economy Capital" initiative, completed as an eContent preparatory action in December 2001.
e-NEC was a project that aimed at speeding up the European SME by fostering the encounter between the demand and the supply of risk capital and related services in the digital content sector. The overall objective was to build a Euro-multi-regional platform and community - comprised of investors, companies, services, expertise - that helps to simplify the relationship and the international partner matchmaking.
e-NEC, also known as Venture Route (the European Investment and Knowledge Network for the Digital Economy) and accessed through the http://www.ventureroute.com web site, built an advisory platform which is simultaneously European and local and which provides services conceived to reduce investment barriers and risks.
The Venture Route web site, in fact, proposes a path consisting in a set of steps, activities, downloadable templates, online services and tools that help entrepreneurs understand the venture process and find the right business and financial partner. The core of this system is a powerful matchmaking tool, which has been tested with hundreds of investors and thousands of entrepreneurs.
Venture Route is based upon a community of accredited partners: regional and specialised investors, SMEs, larger-sized companies, experts and catalyst organisations sharing values, objectives and standards of co-operation with the mission to make venture capital available at the lowest possible costs and risks.
