At the end of September, 31 teams from Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics and Southern Europe completed the pre-acceleration stage of the EIT Digital Venture Program.

After developing their Minimum Viable Product and incorporating their startup, the teams started engaging with private investors.

Less than 3 months later, ten of them have raised close to €870,000 in private funding. 

Based on this achievement, the ten startups were awarded a €10,000 prize from EIT Digital, which adds up to the €15,000 they had received during the pre-acceleration stage, bringing EIT Digital’s total support to €25,000 each.
