Fundraising in CEE – the future of Alternative Financing

2022.02.14 – 2 min read

 April 2019, Budapest, Hungary – SMART Conference

SMEs are increasingly turning to alternative financing options in Europe, as there are many #alternativefinancing options available online where Startups and SMEs can apply and get funding much more quickly and easily than through traditional financing instruments. As part of the SMART Conference, a panel discussion – „Fundraising in CEE” – was organised in the frame of the Altfinator project  moderated by the president of the Hungarian Venture Capital Association.

Panel discussion participants, representing major Hungarian investment (VC and angel) institutions (Bonitas Investment Fund, Hiventures, A3 Ventures, Hungarian Venture Capital Association) agreed on the main elements and challenges of the financial ecosystem, with a comparison in the national, EU and Global level.

Altfinator project partner, Innomine Group coordinated the EU-wide research on the best practices, as well as conceptualised the global strategy on developing the use of alternative finance in Europe. innomine CEO, Gabor Vicze, PhD, introduced the Altfinator project, and confirmed, that there is an individual approach required in each EU country on developing the use of Alternative Finance, which should be started by an intense awareness raising campaign towards SMEs.  He emphasized the availability of Alternative Finance, focusing especially on equity corowdfunding and ICOs in the Hungarian and European ecosystem. The panel discussion provided fruitful input to update the EU level Altfinator strategy by summarising with the experts the main challenges, stakeholders, roles, the difficulties and experiences of private VC investment as well as the importance of Jeremie-funds in Hungary.  The Altfinator Strategy on developing the availability of alternative finance is downloadable here.

CrowdFundPort project, an EU initiative to create a favorable environment for crowdfunding has come to its end, with valuable results to use further in terms of developing an enabling environment for crowdfunding, with special attention among others on regulation.

The current state of EU regulation of equity crowdfunding was introduced by legislation expert Karsten Wenzlaff, ikosom,  followed by a panel discussion on the results of the Altfinator project (altfinator.eu) and the current activity of crowdfunding platform, Crowdberry, Slovakia.

Support to fond investment – Mapping and matching funding opportunities based on needs and digital assessments
Ecosystem
Public funding awareness
The ultimate goal of the ProAgro project was to support the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, in which Innomine made agri-food businesses more competitive within our region by providing services and accelerating the development and deployment of digital innovations.
The project aimed to introduce and demonstrate agri-food companies' opportunities for EU fundings through advice and digital maturity assessment, evaluation of the analysis, the development of a personalized action plan and the collection of national and international good practices. 
Two things are essential for successfully help agri-food businesses in Hungary with EU funding: 1. knowing the partners, 2. being aware of financial sources. Therefore, our approach was:

I. Supporting agri-food SMEs and start-ups:
  • Consultancy and assessment of digital maturity, needs of farmers and agri-food SMEs 
  • Analysis of the surveys, assessments and interviews, collection of good practices at national and international level and creation of a customized needs action plan based in terms of the farmer’s and SMEs current digital maturity and operational efficiency. 

II. Access to finance
  • Identification and connection to suitable funding sources by creating a map of the available national and international funding possibilities.
III. Online or onsite consultations on the suitable and available national and private funding opportunities identified
More about the project
By profiling the partners using the agricultural and food digital transformation tool developed in the ProAgro project we got a good idea of the level of maturity of the partners, not only in terms of digitization but also in terms of application capabilities. The survey showed the companies project ideas and their capabilities of implementation. We became aware of the level of the company in the requirements for international applications (eg minimum English language skills). Our already established network and the conducted agri- and food digital maturity tool and methodology allowed us to identify digitalization related project ideas and to create a pool of partners able to apply for EC calls or other international fundings.

As a results, in the 1 year project period we were able to bring in 3 partners into a Horizon Europe call, selected, validated and submitted 7 proposals to different cascade funding calls (Demeter, BOWI, Digitbrain).

Our results show that knowing our partners in term of digital and innovation maturity is very important. By using the ProAgro agri-food digital transformation tool and methodology, we can not only suggest steps to improve digitization, but also identify needs that can be turned into project plans that can be a good topic for EU cascade funding. Innomine DIH continues to help national and international agri-food businesses to address their challenges in a business-centric and service-oriented way, and making available to any business to access the latest knowledge, expertise and technology.

The project aimed to introduce and demonstrate agri-food companies' opportunities for EU fundings through advice and digital maturity assessment, evaluation of the analysis, the development of a personalized action plan and the collection of national and international good practices. 
Two things are essential for successfully help agri-food businesses in Hungary with EU funding: 1. knowing the partners, 2. being aware of financial sources. Therefore, our approach was:

I. Supporting agri-food SMEs and start-ups:
  • Consultancy and assessment of digital maturity, needs of farmers and agri-food SMEs 
  • Analysis of the surveys, assessments and interviews, collection of good practices at national and international level and creation of a customized needs action plan based in terms of the farmer’s and SMEs current digital maturity and operational efficiency. 

II. Access to finance
  • Identification and connection to suitable funding sources by creating a map of the available national and international funding possibilities.
III. Online or onsite consultations on the suitable and available national and private funding opportunities identified
By profiling the partners using the agricultural and food digital transformation tool developed in the ProAgro project we got a good idea of the level of maturity of the partners, not only in terms of digitization but also in terms of application capabilities. The survey showed the companies project ideas and their capabilities of implementation. We became aware of the level of the company in the requirements for international applications (eg minimum English language skills). Our already established network and the conducted agri- and food digital maturity tool and methodology allowed us to identify digitalization related project ideas and to create a pool of partners able to apply for EC calls or other international fundings.

As a results, in the 1 year project period we were able to bring in 3 partners into a Horizon Europe call, selected, validated and submitted 7 proposals to different cascade funding calls (Demeter, BOWI, Digitbrain).

Our results show that knowing our partners in term of digital and innovation maturity is very important. By using the ProAgro agri-food digital transformation tool and methodology, we can not only suggest steps to improve digitization, but also identify needs that can be turned into project plans that can be a good topic for EU cascade funding. Innomine DIH continues to help national and international agri-food businesses to address their challenges in a business-centric and service-oriented way, and making available to any business to access the latest knowledge, expertise and technology.
