Background and program:
Rising Star and Fast50 companies all have in common that they have ambitious plans for growth, based on innovative products, processes and or services. They also share the need of funding in order to be able to realize these ambitions. In this seminar the funding of starting and growing companies is presented from 3 different perspectives.

1. Elderd Land, Partner Venture Capital at Gimv will address this issue from the point of view of an investment /VC firm.
2. René den Boer, Manager of the credit department at NL Innovatie (part of Agentschap NL, an agency of the ministry of Economic Affairs), will present funding possibilities and procedures from the government. Options include various equity, credit and guarantee schemes.
3. Wolf Schellhorn from Brabantse Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij focuses his presentation on the MKB Innovatiefonds Brabant, a tool that has been developed in reaction to the financial crisis. Interesting to know is that the fund holds € 5 mio, that needs to be used before the end of 2010.

Presentations will be interactive and aimed to stimulate discussion and exchange of views and experiences.
