How the Investment Path Works

A clear, structured journey from application to scale-up

Step 1

Screening Through the Call for Projects

Startups submit their technology, team, and market proposal through our open calls. We assess strategic fit, technical relevance, and potential for scale.

Step 2

Investment Selection

From this pipeline, a small group of high-potential companies is shortlisted for investment consideration. This stage includes deep technical review, market validation checks, and team assessment.

Step 3

Acceleration Program

Startups selected for investment enter the acceleration program, where they receive structured support to validate their technology, refine their business model, and run pilots with industry partners. This phase strengthens readiness for future growth and prepares the company for follow-on rounds.

Step 4

Deployment and Scale-Up

Once validated, teams work with our corporate network across Europe and LATAM to execute pilots, sign commercial agreements, and consolidate early market traction.
