TY  - RPRT
AB  - The Vigo Accelerator Programme was launched in 2009 to address perceived gaps in the Finnish National System of Entrepreneurship – notably, those existing in the high-growth venturing ecosystem: (1) insufficient number of new ventures with potential for high growth; (2) equity funding gap in the region from approximately 20k€ to 200k€; and (3) insufficient experience and competence base in high-growth venturing. This mid-term evaluation addressed four questions: (1) whether the Vigo Programme had achieved its early-stage goals; (2) whether the Vigo concept addresses a real gap in the Finnish high-growth venturing ecosystem; (3) whether the Vigo Programme is likely to lead to the creation of a self-sustaining field of new venture accelerators in Finland; (4) what role the Vigo Programme might play in the Finnish high-growth venturing ecosystem in the medium to long term.
