Description du projet
Accélérer la réussite des start-up
Les incubateurs européens jouent un rôle déterminant dans le développement de nouveaux projets d’entreprise et leur introduction sur le marché. Toutefois, malgré l’efficacité de la création des start-up et du soutien qui leur est apporté à leurs débuts, les incubateurs de l’UE rencontrent des défis pour les développer afin qu’elles pénètrent les marchés mondiaux. Le projet Scale-up Champions, financé par l’UE, entend combler cette lacune en fournissant: un accès aux réseaux de clients publics et privés, un accès aux talents disséminés dans l’UE, un accès aux capitaux, à des partenaires commerciaux potentiels et à des opportunités d’extension au-delà des frontières. Les partenaires pourront, grâce à la création de services harmonisés, connecter les écosystèmes de start-up et faciliter une meilleure coordination entre les partenaires. L’ambition du projet est que ces services soient adoptés par tous les incubateurs après la fin du projet.
Objectif
The main challenge that the European start-up ecosystem is facing, is that innovative start-ups fail to scale up at a sufficient rate. Start-up incubators play a significant role in helping start-ups in Europe to scale up. An Incubator is a set-up to reduce the chances of failure of an early stage start-up and they have a deep impact on start-up ecosystem and its stakeholders. Although incubators have an increasingly important role in supporting early stage companies with the basic needs of developing a company, they are consistently failing to provide services that are needed for companies to go global and scale up.
The Scale-up Champions project builds on the premise of equalising opportunities of scaling up for start-ups across Europe and connects less and more developed startup ecosystems.
Our strategic objective is supported by the following sub-objectives:
• Increase the connectedness among members of deep-tech start-up ecosystems and their companies (start-ups and scale-ups) and to the larger european business ecosystem seeking maximum synergies.
• Increase access to customers, private and public, access to qualified employees, access to the right combination of finance and prospects for scaling up across borders.
• Stimulate European investments in deep-tech digital sectors through increasing the number of cross-border investments.
To achieve these objectives, Scale-up Champions’ consortium will implement the following actions:
• Develop a method for experience-sharing among project partners that fosters the collaboration between different European start-up incubators.
• Foster start-up and corporate cooperation in order to build sustainable partnerships through active support of start-ups and corporations.
• Build the fundraising capacity of deep-tech start-ups through an active investment readiness program and create working networks between investors and start-ups.
• Foster cross-border activities for European start-ups in order to support interna
