29/09/2010 - 30/09/2010 Eco-Innovation Centre, City Road, Peterborough PE1 1SA Especially for small and medium sized eco-innovative companies financing is an important topic. EcoCluP is tackling this challenge and offers investor-readiness-trainings for SMEs in 10 different countries. The Master Class ‘How to attract investors’ is a specifically designed course teaching entrepreneurs, owners and management how to successfully obtain equity financing while being aware of common pitfalls, dilemmas and benefits. We teach: “how to stay in the game”, and “how to avoid the investors’ dustbin”. Finding and convincing an investor to finance a business is a demanding task which requires a significant amount of time and effort. Knowing what appeals to investors, how to convert a business concept into a strong business plan, and how to present it to investors and keep them engaged is crucial. Discussing these skills and providing participants with the right training is the ultimate objective of the Master Classes. The content is tailored to the needs of eco-innovative companies and organisations. Classes are conducted in English, while the supporting on-line tools are available in 11 European languages (English, German, Danish, Italian, Latvian, Turkish, French, Polish, Dutch, Slovenian and Spanish) A Master Class covers the following topics:
