BELT - start-ups in the Central Baltic region

The BELT project improved start-up culture within the Central Baltic region in various ways. For instance, four BootCamps were organised under the Smart City theme in Jurmala, Helsinki, Norrköping and Tampere. In total, 86 start-ups or teams participated in them, along with individual business ideas. 

Although no international joint companies were created, one regional start-up was born with the help of the project. Co-operation between start-ups was active with 15 projects partaking. Co-operation took place e.g. through utilising contacts from other start-ups, gaining information about regional markets and exchanging feedback with each other.

BELT coaches and mentors gave many consultations and during the project, a network of coaches, start-ups and teams was established.

Project targeted to support 30 new enterprises and 30 existing enterprises. The target was reached and support was given altogether for 47 new enterprises and 47 existing enterprises. 

Findings and best practices from the BELT project mare gathered into a Coaching Manual.
