The Mercia Technology Seed Fund's Partners

The investors in the Mercia Technology Seed Fund include a broad range of both public- and private-sector organisations located within the West Midlands region. Each organisation has invested on purely commercial terms and expects returns typical of early-stage venture capital funds. The university investors are also important sources of pipeline investments and enjoy a strong relationship with the Mercia Technology Seed Fund and its Investment Team.

Solutions for Business: The Mercia Technology Seed Fund is a finance for business product, funded in part by the Solutions for Business portfolio of publicly funded business support.

The Mercia Technology Seed Fund has recently agreed a formal partnership with MidTECH, the body responsible for managing innovation in the NHS within the West Midlands region.

This partnership will seek to build stronger links between medical innovators within the NHS, the managers of early-stage medical device companies, and the provision of venture capital funding for product commercialisation.

Euram works with companies to secure public finance to support innovative product and process development.

In future, the Mercia Technology Seed Fund will continue to develop strategic partnerships with key public- and private-sector organisations within the West Midlands region, and nationally.
