Smart Region Director, Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region
It is a great joy for EBAN to cooperate with Anima in contributing to the creation of the world's innovative and entrepreneurial eco-system. As a result of our long-year collaboration, EBAN and Anima have together incubated MBAN, the Middle East North Africa Network for Business Angels, Seed Funds and Early Stage Market Players that exists thanks to ANIMA implication. ANIMA is a unique organization, which combines the passion and drive of start-ups with the discipline, knowledge, and rigor of a most professional NGO. EBAN feels privileged to work with ANIMA towards our common goals -- that of inspiring private sector investment into qualified start-ups throughout the EMEA region and bringing those investments to fruition.

Hosting the launch conference of THE NEXT SOCIETY and two training seminars the following year in Athens allowed us to benefit from ANIMA's network to promote Greek economic actors as well as our expertise to a large international audience.
