| Attica Ventures was established in September 2003 with the purpose
of managing venture capital funds and is a member of
the Attica Bank Group of companies. Attica Bank
is the first bank to participate in a venture capital
fund operating under the framework of Greek Law 2992/2002
and establish a dedicated subsidiary to manage such
a fund.
Attica Ventures aims to invest in innovative small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are in their development phase, hold a distinctive competitive advantage and have excellent potential for equity appreciation and international competitiveness and presence, regardless of the industry they compete. Our target size of investment is between € 3-7 million, but we are able to accommodate any size of investment in cooperation to strategic partners and/or co-investors. In most of the cases we intend to take minority stakes, supporting the management achieving their goals.
