Week of Regional Entrepreneurship – PPM Oost
From 19 August to 26 August, the gong ceremony at Beursplein 5 focuses on the activity and entrepreneurship in the various regions in the Netherlands. Euronext has invited the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Regional Development Companies to put their work in the spotlight during the Week of Regional Entrepreneurship.
During the Week of the Regional Entrepreneurship, the honors on this trading day belonged to representatives from PPM Oost who, together with the directors of companies in which they have invested, sent a signal as to how important innovation is for the economic health of these companies, the regional economy and the country as a whole.
PPM Oost (Participatiemaatschappij Oost Nederland NV), is the regional venture capital company that is part of East Netherlands Development Agency (Oost NV). Its role is to select promising, innovative companies in which to invest in, using funds from the Dutch government and the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel. The advisors at PPM Oost understand that many innovative, starting business owners fail to succeed in making the growth transition from product development to a thriving enterprise that generates revenue resulting in profit. By not only making wise use of government funding, but also enlisting their networks, knowledge and experience,
PPM Oost can help companies in making this transition successfully.
