Beschreibung
The project concerns investments in research and development (R&D) into innovative start-up companies and SMEs. The borrower holds and manages a portfolio of high-tech innovative spin-out companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in five different sectors (energy & renewables; medical equipment & supplies; pharma & biotech; IT & communications; chemicals & materials) in the United Kingdom.
Ziele
The project supports the growth phase of innovative technology SMEs by ensuring their ability to fund their development programme. It covers activities ranging from pre-seed and seed financing and proof of concept studies to the financing of pilot production or clinical trials. The larger investments, targeted at the more mature portfolio companies, are made on a milestone/tranche basis that matches the companies’ needs for cash with the agreed milestone. The companies included in the project represent a mix of companies in different sectors such as life sciences (pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical equipment), mechanical engineering and ICT.
