CHALLENGE

The main challenge of the ALTfinator project is to improve access to alternative finance for innovative SMEs, and to absorb the potential new emerging forms of finance leveraged by innovative financial technologies.

ALTFINATOR intends to create the conditions for SME’s expansion by addressing the financial gap.

SOLUTION

The project will design, develop and implement a stimulation strategy in order to increase the capacity of the financial ecosystem and its participants in Southern, Central and Eastern European countries for the provision and absorption of alternative forms of financing for SMEs.

RESULTS

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, under grant agreement No. 792040.
