Beteiligungsfonds Wirtschaftsförderung Mannheim (Funding)

The Beteiligungsfonds (Equity Fund) of Economic Funding in Mannheim is a program, which aims at funding young startups in the seed phase. The amount of financial support ranges from 50.000 to 200.000 Euros in form of a silent or open equity holding and partnership. The Beteiligungsfonds (Equity fund) comprises 1,65 million Euros in total. This amount is put together by the European Union (50%), the state of Baden-Württemberg (17,5%) and the City of Mannheim (32,5%).

The Fund focuses on innovative, technology-oriented businesses or startups from the field of creative sciences, which are currently in their seed phase (no more than 5 years after the startup’s foundation). 

OPASCA Systems GmbH is the first startup to receive funding from the Beteiligungsfonds. The company operates within the field of medical technology  and is already establishing itself successfully on the market with its innovative product portfolio.
