CEEIARAGON recently hosted a key webinar to present its new investment-oriented operational model, aimed at accelerating the growth of innovative startups across Aragón and beyond. The session introduced matriX, a continuous support programme structured around a strategic funnel: Deal Flow, Screening, and Investing.
The new model shifts from traditional support schemes to an investment strategy, prioritising tailored support based on the needs of each project and ensures a return-driven strategy that enables sustainable reinvestment.
Key components of the model include:
- matriX Programme: A two-year customised acceleration programme with strategic mentorship, resources, and AI-based monitoring systems.
- BOOST Plans: A hybrid public-private investment mechanism that offers financial support and takes positions in startups with high scalability and technological innovation.
- Sector-Agnostic Focus: The programme is open to tech startups, visionary entrepreneurs, and spin-offs. Projects are selected based on their Technology Readiness Level (TRL), their Business Readiness Level (BRL), and growth potential—excluding ethically restricted sectors.
With resources, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to impact, matriX and BOOST position CEEIARAGON as a catalyst for scalable innovation in Southern Europe. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis via the online platform.
During the presentation, the example of Bugcle and Feltwood, two pilots supported by the RESOURCE project and already enrolled in BOOST and matriX programmes, was also highlighted.
