SEB bank will hold a live-streamed ceremony on 10 November to announce which entrepreneurial projects will receive grants this year from its "(ie)dvesma" programme. The competition supports new and growing business ideas with funding. The material was published as paid information, with SEB bank as its source.

Anniversary year

The organisers say "(ie)dvesma" is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Together with this year's winners, the event is set to look back at a period in which bold ideas have turned into entrepreneurial stories.
