Sviluppo Italia incubators network Regional companies coordination Incubators network development/information network
BUSINESS INCUBATORS The business incubator is a territorial development tool designed to speed-up the creation and growth of new enterprises, to create new employment, to support the local economy and to promote new specific productive sectors The creation of new enterprises shows a high level of complexity. In the startup phase it is crucial to know how to effectively integrate, in a short time, heterogeneous skills: management capabilities, knowledge of new technologies, legal and financial aspects, logistics, relational skills and access to financing. The incubator reduces the level of complexity for the start up stage of new enterprises, and it represents a real laboratory for the promotion of an innovative entrepreneurship
