Sodena has organized a new round of meetings this year between the Enisa team and a total of 16 innovative startups from Navarre, accompanied by Sodena staff, with the aim of presenting their business projects and exploring possible financing avenues.
The participating companies operate in strategic sectors for Navarra’s economic development, such as personalized medicine, the green and digital transition, sustainable food, and industrialized construction, among others. These meetings allow Enisa to gain first-hand insight into initiatives with high growth and impact potential, thereby strengthening access to public funding for startups in Navarre.
Together, these 16 startups currently generate approximately 90 jobs, most of them highly qualified, demonstrating their direct contribution to job creation and talent development in Navarre.
In eight of these meetings, the companies were accompanied by staff from CEIN, as they are projects that have gone through its programs, further reinforcing comprehensive support for innovative entrepreneurship in its early stages.
Sodena has been promoting these meetings since 2015, within the framework of the collaboration agreement signed with Enisa to foster business development in the Autonomous Community, supporting companies in their preparation and in the dialogue process with the state entity. Over the years, this initiative has become an effective tool for bringing financial instruments closer to innovative projects.
Over the past five years, the results reflect a significant boost to business innovation: Enisa has financed 30 projects in Navarre for a total of €6 million, half of which have also received support from Sodena, highlighting the complementarity of both entities in strengthening the business ecosystem.
With this new round of meetings, Sodena and Enisa reaffirm their commitment to the growth of startups in Navarre, facilitating access to financing and contributing to the development of an innovative, competitive business ecosystem that generates high-quality employment.
FINANCEABLE PROJECTS AND INVESTMENT
Eligible business projects must be innovative, offer competitive advantages in their sector, and have a viable and profitable business model.
Enisa financing, through its participative loans, ranges from €25,000 to €1,500,000. It does not require guarantees beyond the business project itself and the solvency of the management team behind it, and it offers extended grace and repayment periods.
In Sodena’s case, projects must be located in Navarre, and the minimum investment per project is also €25,000
