Hungary
Our newly developed non-profit services are closely related to scaleup and startup companies, with direct integration of Scalescraper results. Namely, the youth exchange, R&D validation and organizational development support is partly built ont he Scalescraper’s results. Additionally the recommendations are capitalized and started to be used in our Alba Accelerator Mentoring Programme, especially from the side of business planning, financial assistance and policy integration. Finally, the practical tests and survey done help us to offer flexible and tailor-made services for our scaleup customers.
Slovenia
Based on the experience and results of interviews with scaleup companies, we have designed a set of products and programs that will be provide support to this target group. Existing programs have been updated and upgraded, based on information’s received from the scaleup companies, so that key programs such as Go Global Slovenia are more adapted to the scaleups. At the same time, we have designed and launched a new program that will allow companies to access financial resources in the field of block-chain technologies or acquire funds from the ICO. In May, we started with a pilot project within which 10 Slovenian scaleup companies participate. The results from the Scalescrapers project were the basis for the implementation of the aforementioned upgrades and new programs.
