The Vigo Venture Accelerators program provides funding and support to high-potential Finnish startups through independent accelerator companies. The program aims to increase the number of successful growing companies in Finland and develop the innovation ecosystem. Selected startups work closely with experienced entrepreneurs at accelerator companies for 18-24 months, receiving funding, business expertise, and access to investors and customers to help them grow rapidly. Over 100 companies have participated in the program so far, raising over 350 million euros in total funding and resulting in some acquisition exits. The program is a public-private partnership managed by government organizations and accelerators invest both money and time into startups to take an ownership stake and help them achieve fast growth.
