Backed by Swiss govt, SECO Startup Fund relaunches with 5.34M to fuel impact startups in CEE and emerging economies - Silicon Canals
Briefly

The SECO Startup Fund has relaunched with CHF 5 million to finance post-revenue startups in Central & Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Backed by Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, the fund is managed by iGravity and Seedstars. iGravity focuses on economic opportunities through tailored financing, while Seedstars supports entrepreneurs with resources and community. The fund aims to support inclusive and climate-smart economic growth, offering loans from CHF 300,000 to CHF 1,000,000 to established businesses in need of financing.
This isn't just about capital; it's about creating economic opportunity by helping businesses grow their operations and generate local employment through tailored financing mechanisms aligned with Switzerland's global cooperation priorities.
Through the SECO Startup Fund, we're able to channel funding toward entrepreneurs who are not only building strong companies but solving real problems in their communities.
