About Business Angels Network de Catalunya & the Program to Promote the Business Angels Networks

Business Angels Network de Catalunya was the first Catalan and Spanish private Business Angels Network. Its founders were the CECOT employees and the Private Foundation for the Promotion of Self-employment in Catalonia (AUTOOCUPACIO) with the collaboration of ICF Institut Català de Finances.

The main goal of the Business Angels Network Support Program is promoting the development of the services provided by the Business Angels networks. These networks contribute to the professionalization of the actions carried out between SME companies that need capital to develop their projects and “proximity investors” or “Business Angels”.  BANC has the financing of the Ministry of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agency through the Program of support of Networks of Business Angels.
