international exhibitions/conferences.

sidered to be one of the largest business
networks worldwide, with 10.500 Chambers
and Business Unions around the globe.

European Metropolitan Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (of which ACCI is a
founding member) and the ACCI Business
Angels network.
5. Seal of Approval: As an incubated company in
a prestigious institution like the Athens
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, when the
time comes to go out and look for partners,
clients or funding, start-ups can present some
credentials, since they have gone through a
selection process and were capable enough to
enter the incubator.
Apart from the above, THEA works hard to assist
hosted teams in gaining access to grants, angel
capital or venture capital funds, in particular through:
• Technical Support in equity/ project financing
procedures;
• Assistance with applications on calls for
national and European funding programmes.
