Working hard for something we don’t care about is stress, working hard for something we love is passion (S. Sinek)
Business awareness, competence in sourcing financial resources, ideas for growth: we project your business into the future
To turn your business project into a concrete, functioning business model, you need specific tools and approaches.
Projects with a verified business feasibility, a concrete team and no particular criticalities in terms of logistics and implementation times, can be accompanied in their growth by a business incubator or accelerator. Pro-activeness, commitment, the quality of the team and the potential of the project are assessed for inclusion in the incubator.
Spin-offs are accompanied with different types of support, until they are ready to stand on their own two feet: managerial assistance, mentoring, a preferential channel for meeting investors who believe in the innovation of the project and can offer the necessary economic support.
You can count on our support throughout the time it takes to make your project grow. We can guide you in identifying the best solutions for your specific case and your needs, and will provide you all the indications for acquiring the competences you need to build your business.
At the end of the incubation programme, the team will have acquired business awareness and competences for sourcing the financial resources needed to develop the business, counting on a network of relations.
