Services
SIPRO provides the enterprises settled within Incubators with a wide set of services: ranging from the most basic services to more complex support activities that are tailor-made to the companies’ individual needs.
There are two categories of support services:

• basic free services

Tutoring during the start-up and follow-up phases
During the start-up phase of the enterprises settled within Incubators, SIPRO provides them with an early tutoring support, both to draw up the business plan and also during the activity monitoring phase. A special attention is paid to aspects related to the enterprise strategic positioning, its penetration into the reference market, the organisation strengthening and the identification of technological innovation needs.
Furthermore, SIPRO supports firms in fund-raising and in establishing relations with the local authorities.

Setting up a comprehensive local network
SIPRO facilitates the link between the newly set-up enterprises and the spin-off centre based within the University of Ferrara, enterprise associations, trade associations, Municipalities, etc.
In this way, businesses located within the incubator receive all the assistance they need to become fully integrated within the local community, networked with the other enterprises located within the same manufacturing area, thus fostering information exchanges, use of technological innovation services and new business opportunities.
