Andalucía Emprende, a foundation attached to the Regional Ministry of University, Research and Innovation, and Asociación Andaluza Business Angels Networks (AABAN), a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening Andalusia’s seed investment ecosystem for startups, have signed a collaboration agreement to connect Andalusian entrepreneurs with private investors, thereby facilitating business creation and growth.
The agreement establishes a framework for public-private cooperation aimed at boosting the Andalusian entrepreneurial ecosystem through the joint organization of investment forums, business meetings, training initiatives, and networking activities that foster connections between startups, SMEs, and investors. Both entities will also cooperate in promoting initiatives, transferring knowledge, and generating synergies that contribute to the growth and consolidation of Andalusian companies.
The Director General for the Promotion of Entrepreneurship and Lifelong Learning, Javier González, highlighted that this agreement helps address one of the main obstacles to entrepreneurship, as it “opens up new opportunities for Andalusian projects to access private investment, grow, and expand into new markets.” He also emphasized that it will allow entrepreneurs to benefit from specialized review processes that “will undoubtedly improve the quality and viability of their business proposals.”
Within the framework of the agreement, Andalucía Emprende will promote the calls and activities arising from the partnership, make its advisory, mentoring, and training services available to entrepreneurs, and collaborate in securing both public and private funding for participating projects. It will also facilitate access to investor-readiness processes and networking spaces that encourage cooperation among ecosystem stakeholders.
For its part, Asociación Andaluza Business Angels Networks (AABAN) will contribute its network of business angels and investment agents, coordinate the organization of investment forums and business meetings, and deliver workshops and training programs on access to capital and investor pitch preparation. In addition, the association will promote collaboration with other networks and entities that can add value to the joint initiatives.
The agreement will have an initial duration of four years, renewable for additional periods of up to four years, and will include a monitoring committee responsible for overseeing its implementation and proposing new initiatives
