TechXperience: How to raise capital through subsidies for start-ups and scale-ups?
21/10/2025 | 9:00 am - 10:30 pm
Raising money can be an issue for startups and scale-ups.
Because when bootstrapping and organic growth aren’t enough, you need to find extra funding. But how do you do it? Loans and venture capital are an option, but those options we won’t discuss in this MashUp.
We’ll talk about subsidies, an important element in the financing mix.
The options range from specific subsidies for young businesses to innovation subsidies and subsidies for knowledge procurement. In this MashUp, we discuss VLAIO subsidies and the support offered alongside them.
Join us for another intriguing Leuven MindGate MashUp that zooms in on this complex but urgent question.
