00:00What is Terranext?
00:03Terranext is a European Unicum,
00:06in fact it is the first vertical acceleration program
00:09on the circular bioeconomy.
00:12In these three years we have accelerated 22 startups,
00:16invested 3.5 million euros directly,
00:20collected capital of thirds for more than 10 million euros
00:23and we have also collected facilitated funding
00:27and grants for 5.5 million euros.
00:30So I would say that our startups have achieved concrete goals
00:34both from the point of view of financing and from the point of view of customers.
00:38We have carried out more than 54 workshops to promote their growth
00:44thanks to a network of national and local partners.
00:50Startups, a very important fact,
00:54are for 48% from the south and 22% from Campania.
01:01So it is an initiative based on and focused on
01:05stimulating the ecosystem where Terranext has been introduced
01:09and in particular we have collaborated with our large corporates
01:14and local members to promote their growth,
01:17thus facilitating industrial and financial synergies.
01:22Terranext is an initiative on the bioeconomy,
01:26for which we have written a position paper for this third edition,
01:31also enriched with testimonials of the Terranext ecosystem
01:35and Venture Capital, therefore professionals in the field of investments.
01:39The position paper will be presented for the first time today
01:43and will be discussed to present relevant insights
01:50to stimulate the bioeconomy and fill the investment gaps
01:54from the Italian and European point of view
01:57compared to more advanced ecosystems that we all know.
