Business incubation supports enterprises through the growth process and is a strong instrument to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in service clusters. They are nurturing growth environments, especially designed to ‘hatch’ enterprises and provide their client companies with an array of targeted resources and value added services, from office space, to management support and knowledge, and increasingly to access to finance.
What relationship do clusters and business incubators have with each other?
This workshop will aim to explore the following:
• The relationship that exists between business incubation and clusters.
• The use of clusters and business incubators to accelerate internationalisation.
• Accessing finance for clusters and cluster SMEs.
Focused presentations followed by related parallel sessions will allow attendees to learn from the experience and knowledge of highly experienced practitioners while the relating breakout sessions will allow delegates to interact to collect relevant information and take part in debate.
Over 50 delegates are expected to attend this event.
