Description

Open pari-passu participations and market-conform convertible measures support technology-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises in Saxony-Anhalt during founding and growth phases by providing subordinated capital of up to EUR 10 million. The goal is to strengthen the equity base for research, development, demonstration, pilot, and market launch projects as well as further growth financing. As a minority participation, the fund house can take over up to 25% of the capital or convert silent participations into open capital. The term is oriented to the development phase and usually ranges from five to ten years, thereby creating sustainable financing structures for innovative ventures.

Eligible for funding are micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises according to the EU SME definition, with headquarters and operations in Saxony-Anhalt, conducting independent research or development and employing new technologies. Submission of a business plan including investment, cost, and financing plans is a prerequisite. Projects that increase competitive advantage and open genuine market opportunities are supported. Companies in difficulty are excluded. Applications can be submitted continuously, allowing interested founders and companies to flexibly adjust their financing strategy.
