Seed Financing As Initial Help For High-Tech Enterprises : Technology in Salzburg

By means of the Salzburg company capital service (EKS), a joint institution of the province of Salzburg, the Bürges Subsidy Bank and the Innovation Agency, a further important measure has been implemented to promote the supply of a company’s own capital or risk capital for business in Salzburg.

Through this co-operation, the province of Salzburg is particularly keen to offer high-tech enterprises direct access to the expertise of the Innovation Agency and the Bürges Subsidy Bank. Besides business fields such as foundation savings, the exchange for Business Angels, the guarantee for company capital as well as the seed financing programme, the company capital service provides the most important element for the foundation of high-tech enterprises: initial capital and management support.
