Funding: connecting ideas with capital, beyond borders

Startups, researchers, investors and technology transfer actors: KTUR² facilitates access to early-stage innovation funding in the Upper Rhine region. In a context marked by different national systems and information asymmetries, we work to make the ecosystem more transparent, connected and efficient.

In practice, we:
• Map existing funding instruments in the three countries (grants, public programmes, venture capital, open innovation) to improve visibility and access;
• Identify key needs through exchanges with startups, researchers and funders;
• Structure three trinational networks (venture capital, public funding, open innovation) to foster synergies and qualified contacts;
• Organise investor speed-dating events to connect innovative projects with capital;
• Develop the roadmap for a future trinational early-stage innovation fund.

Our mission
To structure a strong financing ecosystem that supports cross-border innovation.
