Extremadura's pilot launch event in Merida
Extremadura regional government organised on the 4th and 5th of December in Mérida a major entrepreneurship event with 800 attendees. The second day was entirely dedicated to the regional and national entrepreneurship ecosystem, with the participation of key stakeholders like ENISA, WAYRA, Fundación COTEC, Castille and Leon region or the Portuguese municipality of Fundão.
The DG Entreprise presented the Crowdfundmatch project as well as the design of its pilot for 2025 including both reward-based crowdfunding and crowdequity. More than 60 business support technicians from regional and national entitites had the opportunity to learn from crowdfunding and the matchfunding scheme that will be implemented in Extremadura.
The Extremadura Business Forum was part of the Programme to boost the innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Spain Up Nation strategy, funded by the European Union-Next Generation EU and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan; and supported by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism and EOI.
