MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
The Federação Nacional de Associações de Business Angels has as
mission
to represent the interests of the several Business Angels
Associations existent in Portugal
.
Thus, it aims to be a
conciliator
entity and that contributes to the
strengthening
and
incentive
of the
Business Angel activity in Portugal
,
similarly to what several other European countries have developed in
favour of this activity as we can see by the examples set by ESBAN
(Spain), BANSON (Germany), France Angels (France), BBAA (England) or
by the European EBAN.
FNABA proposes itself to:
- Promote and coordinate a set of actions and activities able to foment both the individual development of each one of its associates and
simultaneously their joint inter-relationship generating important concretizations;
- to support the joint projects between the several associations, directing business plans according to its development potentialities existent at the level of several national, regional and local associations;
- Organize common activities and initiatives to spread and largely foment the financing, through informal investors, in the venture capital market in Portugal.
