Business Angels

An angel is a private investor or business that supports an idea, financing it or providing an important service or resource for its implementation, at a very early stage.

Supporters / Sponsors

Supporters and sponsors are individuals or organisations inside or outside the consortium that may support an idea or competition. See other supporters / sponsors here.
