ICT Finance MarketPlace, 15-16 June 2011, Brussels
|
|
On 16 June 2011 Vice-President Commissioner Kroes awarded prizes to the winning SMEs of the ICT Finance MarketPlace Venture Academy and Investment Forum at the Digital Agenda Assembly. 24 SMEs have been selected to develop investment readiness and pitch to investors. The ICT sector is by far the largest investment sector for Venture Capital. Developing investment (or VC) culture and facilitating interactions between entrepreneurs and investors is essential. Making sure that highly innovative small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) can have access to a more level playing field for (online) markets is a key element of the Digital Agenda for Europe.
Commissioner Kroes handed over awards to the winners of the ICT Finance MarketPlace Venture Academy and Investment Forum. The competition was organised with the help of the European Commission to help SMEs prepare the vital step of pitching to potential investors. The ICT Finance MarketPlace is an initiative delivered by a cluster of 3 EU funded projects (YMIR, VentureGate and ACCESS ICT) in order to develop investment readiness and therefore improving access to finance for innovating ICT SMEs across Europe. It helps SMEs involved in the EU ICT research funding programmes find finance and market success. It is also an entry point for business angels and other venture capital investors interested in accessing investment-ready, innovative ICT SMEs.
Winners of the Finance MarketPlace
- Pirim Patrick (BVS)
- Soviany Cristina (IDES Technologies)
- Van Dijk Paul (SATRAX)

“SecureCHAINS - Integration of Security Technology Supply Chains and Identification of weaknesses and untapped potential”
|
INA collaborates with leading Security Expert Organisations in Europe in a new project funded under the European Commission FP7 Security Programme 2009. The SecureCHAINS project is launched officially on 1 May 2010 and will extend its activities for a period of 24 months.
SecureCHAINS aims to actively involve researchers, SMEs, government institutions, major companies and big industrial enterprises to look at technologies capable of tackling a number of major topics in the field of security in Europe. SecureCHAINS main mission is to contribute to a more competitive Security Technologies Supply Chain (STSC). In this respect, the consortium will cooperate with the industry to gain a better understanding of the nature and structure of the STSC from prime contractors to subcontractors coming from the various tiers of the supply chains. The SecureCHAINS project will identify and evaluate the potential of all the layers and associated actors involved on the STSC and will enable the actors’ to get access to the identified main stakeholders and integrators. The consortium will also promote a common communication platform. This approach will cover both civil security and defence technologies in an integrated approach in order to understand to what extent the two sectors overlap and how the experience from the defence market can be transferred into the security market and vice-versa. Therefore, this project aims for the definition, adoption, testing and validation of a methodology able to help the European Organisations to obtain a higher integration within the STSC.
