About the Startup Europe Awards
StartUp Europe Awards proposes an open innovation methodology through public-private partnerships, "which works to help public entities to find a solution to their local challenges, and also to help startups by testing their innovations on pilots supported with European Union funding" said Juan Manuel Revuelta, director of the StartUp Europe Accelerator at the Finnova Foundation. Simbound and the other European winners of the StartUp Europe Awards will gain visibility thanks to the Media Partner Alliance, made up of 25 members from Spain, France, Belgium, Latvia, Luxembourg, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Sweden, Mexico, Norway and Denmark, among others. Startups will also have access to a mentoring programme (in internationalisation, European funds such as the €50,000 to €2.5 million non-reimbursable grant SME Facility, international communication, etc.), through the Finnova Foundation's StartUp Europe Accelerator, which will enable them to boost their projects and make them more viable worldwide.
