The aim of the project was to increase the capacity of Central Baltic region to produce international start-ups by supporting teams and new enterprises. In different project events 63 new enterprises were supported. Accelerator programme was completed by 15 startups and 10 startups graduated from Investment Readiness process.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions project developed digital tools and it gave possibility for more people/entrepreneurs to participate in the project events online. There were hundreds of participants in Hackathons, Matchmaking and Networking events and over 100 investors took part in trainings and project events. On the negative side it made impossible to have direct face-to-face events and it didn’t support development of joint cross-border ventures.

The structured Investment Readiness Process developed and launched during the NBS project will be integrated to partners’ services, as well as other Investor Services.
