Island business incubators

In Sardinia several business incubators have been opened to improve the chances of success of new business initiatives. Incubators are protected environments where brilliant ideas can be transformed into business.

Defined by the European Union as “the organisation that accelerates and systematizes the process of creating new businesses by providing them with a wide range of integrated support services that include physical spaces, business development support services and integration and networking opportunities”, the business incubator is the place where businesses are supported, helping them to survive and to grow in the phase in which they are most vulnerable, the start-up phase. It concretely supports entrepreneurial ideas, giving them the possibility – in a short term – to transform from a merely abstract idea to a concrete enterprise.

Specifically, within the Regional Science and Technology Park "Sardegna Ricerche", two public incubators act as a meeting point between companies, territories and research models:

  • Bioncubatore CRS4, headquartered in Pula, for the sectors related to life sciences, it was established by the Sardinia Region to help Sardinia to create and grow a fabric of hi-tech companies essential for its economic and cultural development. The goal is to study, develop and apply innovative solutions through a multidisciplinary approach, using highly specialized skills and knowledge.

Finally, confirming the importance and the fundamental role that incubators are playing today, in June 2017 the company incubator Cipnes (Consorzio Industriale Provinciale Nord Est Sardegna) will enter in production. CIPNES will be installed within the European Technology Platform, a structure overlooking the Gulf of Olbia, which will become the logistics headquarters of Insula over a covered area of 10 thousand square meters.
