Vigo Program, a pioneering Finnish public-private initiative to encourage serial entrepreneurs and experienced business leaders to establish private venture accelerators, today announced the appointment of five new accelerators. Building on the success of the first batch of accelerators appointed in 2009, the new funding and sweat equity firms extend Vigo's reach to a higher number of promising ventures in a wider variety of focus areas.
Established to address the key market deficiencies limiting the growth and internationalization of promising startup companies in Finland, the Vigo Program has significantly increased the availability of early-stage funding and experienced hands-on expertise.
