A committee of the ECLV will regularly review the plat- form to ensure all informa- tion, links, and contacts are up to date. In addition to help- ing support existing and fu- ture startup companies to the region, the platform signifies the region’s collective commit- ment to entrepreneurship and innovation that can even help in applying for grants and other benefits that have not yet been identified. continued from page 6C
