General Objective
StartupER, aims to activate incubation and acceleration paths.
The project involves Start-ups, Spin-offs and Entrepreneurial Teams operating in key sectors of the ecological transition, and is aimed at contributing to the relaunch of the competitiveness of the regional economic production system, as envisaged by the Emilia-Romagna Region ERDF PR 2021-2027.
Project Actions
The project is marked by three paths:
- the pre-incubation route is aimed at guiding companies in their embryonic phase, verifying the validity of ideas by supporting them in accessing the incubation phase;
- the incubation route is aimed at start-ups/spin-offs and entrepreneurial teams in the initial phase of their growth and aims to support projects through the consolidation of the business model to increase competitive advantage in the market;
- the acceleration phase is aimed at start-ups/spin-offs that have already consolidated their market presence and are ready to embark on an advanced growth phase in order to further strengthen their business for greater distinctiveness.
The selected start-ups are 7 for the pre-incubation and incubation path and 6 for the acceleration, and the sectors involved range from circular economy, industry 4.0, health and wellness to digitalisation and artificial intelligence.
Duration
The courses will last nine months for incubation and six months for acceleration and will run until 2025.
