(Kathimerini) – The PRE-SEED programme, launched by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF), extends a warm welcome to business owners and early-stage enterprises. Aspiring entrepreneurs have the chance to obtain equity-free financing through the programme, up to a maximum of €119,999. Participants can also take use of complimentary support services for knowledge transfer and innovation. The PRE-SEED project aims to advance creative ideas by supporting startups’ early development and laying the foundation for long-lasting businesses.
The programme sets the road for startup success by offering funds for initial operations, team expansion, prototype and business plan development, and even marketing initiatives. RIF’s Director General, Theodoros Loukaidis, emphasised the program’s wider effects. He emphasised how the PRE-SEED programme supports early-stage business owners as they work to develop their concepts into popular goods or services that may dominate international markets. The programme accepts projects in a variety of fields, regardless matter how conceptual or early in the product- or service-creation process they are.
Loukaidis expressed pleasure with the startup help the PRE-SEED programme had offered in light of the program’s prior successes. A number of firms who obtained money under the programme have advanced to secure private capital and launch their goods and services. The programme has evolved into a catalyst for successful results as some firms prepare for international launches.
The user-friendly IRIS portal provided by the RIF can be used to submit proposals for the PRE-SEED programme. The deadline for applications is November 3, 2023. Contact the RIF’s Partner Support Centre at 22205000 if you’re interested in learning more or asking about involvement.
