  1. IFISE Objectives • Planning for effective sources of seed and venture capital for high-tech in Italy 2. Ascertaining a methodology for the creation of effective seed and venture capital sources in Europe

  2. IFISE Basic Concepts 1. Planning from below: From potential entrepreneurs to legal framework 2. Branch/Region funds and incubators 3. Transferring concepts, not “a parallel study”

  3. IFISE -1- Principal Methodology • Potential entrepreneurs - What would bring them to set-up their own company? • Venture Capital funds - What influences them to invest more in high-tech? What incentives, what infrastructure • Legal framework-Which existing laws can be used and what new laws have to be enacted. What other laws obstruct venture capital for high-tech

  4. IFISE -2- Branch\Region Approach • Venture Capitalists’ radius of travel • Incubators – commuting distance • VC trend: Specialize • Need of a critical mass of potential entrepreneurs in one sector and within one region

  5. IFISE - 3- Transfering Concepts Yozma examples • Strong investment by the state, but no interference in the management or in the choice of the management team • “Trigger Mission” and consequent privatization • Requirement for partnership with an experienced (foreign) partner • Preferential returns for private investors

  6. IFISE -3- Transfering Concepts Technological Incubators - examples • “Always give it a chance” philosophy • Mix of objectives (social, periphery development) • Covering areas neglected by the private sector • Low investment in the incubator’s management • Administrative rules: Discipline or obstacles?
