Financing circular business models and enabling further growth is of key importance for startups. But how can you convince investors of economic viability of your concept, based on sustainable approach to managing production and value chains?

This seminar is aimed at startups, that wish to get involved in transforming our economy into a circular one with their circular concept and sustainable value chains. It is also aimed at investors that would like to be implied in this circular change. The main speaker, Gilles Le Cocguen, head of EuroQuity platform from bpifrance, will present to the enterpreneurs, how best to prepare for investments, while Borut Kocič, director Corporate Banking at SID Banka, will speak about investing in sustainable circular concepts in Slovenia.

In the introductory part, challenges of investing in circular business models and some of best practice examples will be highlighted. Following the key-note addresses, the representatives of different initiatives will outline the possibilities of acquiring financial support in slovenian economic space. The participants will be given an opportunity to investigate the landscape in more depth in a group exercise. At the end of the seminar, the participants will have the opportunity of informal exchange and networking.

The event is organised in cooperation with Technology Park Ljubljana and will take place at their premisses (Technološki Park Ljubljana 19, 1000 Ljubljana). It forms a part of Circular Opportunity Days 2019. It is at the same time also part of ESIL programme – Early Stage Investment Launchpad and part of SIO project – Subjekti Inovativnega Okolja.

Financiranje krožnih poslovnih modelov in omogočanje nadaljnje rasti je za zagonska podjetja ključnega pomena. Ampak kako prepričati vlagatelje o ekonomski vzdržnosti koncepta, osnovanega na trajnostnem pristopu k upravljanju proizvodnje in verigam vrednosti?

Seminar je namenjen zagonskim podjetjem, ki želijo s svojim krožnim konceptom in verigo vrednosti prepričati vlagatelje, in investitorjem, ki se želijo udejstvovati pri krožni preobrazbi gospodarstva. Glavni govorec, Gilles Le Cocguen, vodja platforme EuroQuity iz bpifrance, bo podjetnikom predstavil, kako se najbolje pripraviti za investiranje, Borut Kocič, direktor Oddelka za podjetja v SID Banki, pa bo prestavil pristop k investiranju v trajnostne in krožne koncepte v Sloveniji.

V uvodnem delu v seminar bodo predstavljeni izzivi vlaganja v krožne modele in nekatere dobre prakse slovenskega gospodarstva, v zaključnem delu pa bodo predstavniki različnih iniciativ orisali možnosti za pridobitev finančne podpore v slovenskem prostoru, kar bodo udeleženci lahko natančneje analizirali tudi v kratki skupinski vaji s predavatelji. Ob koncu dogodka bo priložnost še za mreženje med udeleženci.

Dogodek, ki ga organizira Gm kot član SRIP-Krožno gospodarstvo, se bo odvijal v sodelovanju s Tehnološkim Parkom Ljubljana v prostorih Tehnološkga Parka Ljubljana v Ljubljani (Tehnološki Park Ljubljana 19, 1000 Ljubljana).
