Initiative for Industrial Innovators
Empowering the next generation
of Europe-based tech leaders
Joint forces for startup excellence in Europe.
We are a European initiative supporting teams and early-stage start-ups, and aim at funding up to 2,000 disruptive deep tech solutions until 2024 through our fast funding instruments. The Initiative for Industrial Innovators enables local ecosystems, each consisting of a local multi-generational Family Office, a local innovation center, and a local technical university, to join forces.
Program partners.
The Initiative for Industrial Innovators is supported by InnovFinEquity, with the financial backing of the European Union under Horizon 2020 Financial Instruments and the European Partnership for Strategic Investments (EFSI) set up under the Investment Plan for Europe. The purpose of EFSI is to help support financing and implementing productive investments in the European Union and to ensure increased access to financing.
