The project supports the policy objective of support for SMEs, as well as innovation and digitalisation by providing tailored venture debt financing to an innovative start-up developing high definition Virtual Reality (VR) / Extended Reality (XR) hardware and software for industrial use. The project entails positive knowledge spill-overs related to VR/XR technologies, benefiting business and research partners and strengthening the capabilities for digital technologies in the EU.
EIB's financial contribution facilitates the SME's sustainable growth and helps to maintain its technological edge, despite the adverse economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. Furthermore, it provides a positive signalling effect to crowd-in further financing from private investors.
EIB Venture Debt financing is a highly differentiated form of non-dilutive growth financing which entails large amounts, long availability period and long maturities.
The project activities do not fall under the Annexes I or II of the EU Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. The project will be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised, that will not change their scope due to the project. As such, the project activities are not subject to a mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement. Under these conditions, the procurement procedures followed by the promoter are suitable for the project.

Über das Projekt
Wie und warum
Weniger Emissionen durch Geschäftsreisen
Warum
- Um Geschäftsreisen überflüssig zu machen und Emissionen einzusparen
- Zur Unterstützung innovativer Unternehmen in Sektoren, die für die Zukunft Europas strategisch wichtig sind
- Damit Varjo mit Branchengiganten wie Meta, Google und Microsoft mithalten kann
Wie
- Mit einem Venture-Debt-Darlehen von 20 Millionen Euro von der EIB (Venture Debt ist ein eigenkapitalähnlicher Kredit, für den die Unternehmensgründer keine Anteile abgeben müssen)
- Mit der Varjo-Technologie lassen sich die Emissionen von Reisenden drastisch reduzieren, weil sie von ihrem Wohnzimmer aus an Sitzungen oder Konferenzen am anderen Ende der Welt teilnehmen können
- Statt mehrere Tage dauern Entwurfsprüfungen nur noch wenige Stunden
