This chapter presents an overview of policies to support start-ups in Peru. Start-ups are still an emerging phenomenon in the country. In line with the wave of interest in start-ups in Latin America, Peru began to prioritise support for start-ups in 2012, when it introduced Start Up Perú. Between 2012 and 2016, Peru has advanced in structuring its policies to promote start-ups, making Start Up Perú its main support programme. The country has introduced seed capital for entrepreneurs and incentives for incubators and angelinvestor networks. Peru has also promoted the launch of science start-ups to solve key problems in the country in the areas of health, agriculture and the environment. For start-ups to flourish and contribute to Peru’s productivity, the start-up ecosystem needs to become denser, private investors must become willing to back startups, and the country needs to strengthen its overall skills in science and technology.
