About
FINNOVA has more than 10 years of experience in financing innovation in companies, regions and municipalities. It specialises in the business sector, support to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, study of legal barriers, dissemination of results and scaling of innovative ideas.
In addition, it has worked for years with public administration in the search for innovative solutions and scaling to market of useful pilot actions in heritage valuation, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, technology, tourism and digital transformation.
It has experience in research and management of initiatives with themes of circular economy, energy and environment, sustainable mobility, employment and youth, cooperation with European funds and public-private partnerships.
With 15 years of experience, we develop communication, dissemination and exploitation campaigns, targeting key groups to generate participation and achieve a high impact on society. We promote multiple networks and high-level events in order to facilitate networking, recognition and funding. We seek to exploit the results of our Horizon research projects. Finally, we organize the Startup Europe Awards with the European Commission.
