Two years ago, Gaëlle Haag cofounded the digital finance consultancy "StarTalers", which aims at supporting women who want to make sustainable investments. By now, the team is made up of four people, with two new recruits coming in August. Further hirings are already scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
Since 2015, more than 2,000 applications for the programme have come in. About 100 ideas have been accepted into the programme during the same period of time. Minister of the Economy Franz Fayot praised the outcome: "We see that these businesses bring new jobs to our market and help us advance from a technological point of view."
So far, around €7 million has been invested into the programme. In the current edition of the programme, 15 new start-ups will be given a chance to benefit both from financial support and guidance.
