Background
Catalunya has implemented programmes relating to business angels since 1996.
CIDEM, the more experienced BAN in Spain, has become a National Federation of BANs located in Catalunya.
CIDEM programme includes 9 Business Angel Networks, after the merge of 4 university related BANs into UNIBA, the first European network as a result of the cooperation and collaboration agreements between technology and innovation university centres. CIDEM also carries out other initiatives related to business angels such as guides to informal investment, monthly meetings, business angel academies (4 in 2006) and investment forums (XII Investment Forum, 27th September with 600 investors attending and 130 companies presented).
