PLMJ partners the MAZE X Programme - an accelerator for start-ups with social impact

 On 21 January, registrations opened for a new accelerator programme for start-ups with social impact. Called the Maze X Programme, this is a three-month accelerator programme that offers access to capital, expertise and networking to entrepreneurs with impact who are solving social and environmental challenges through their businesses.

PLMJ is a corporate founding member of this innovative project, conceived and set up by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Edmond de Rothschild Foundations and MAZE.

The Maze X Programme will start on 6 May and accelerate 10 start-ups in Lisbon. To help with their costs, the companies selected will receive up to €12,500 euros in cash and without yielding any shareholding. After that, the start-ups can benefit from six months of support and incubation.

"We are very excited to be a part of this innovative project and have the opportunity to help transform the world," says Bruno Ferreira, a partner from PLMJ Banking and Finance.
