OUR OFFER
We believe that hands on work leads to real results, and have done so for over fifteen years. Our program is tailored according to your individual needs, and moves you steadily towards your goals and dreams. Just like almost 300 other startups before you.
SO, HOW DOES IT WORK?
We evaluate around 200 ideas annually. Of these, about 10 - 15 are admitted to our incubator process. The reason why a company is not accepted is often that they are a little too early and need to work a little more to develop their team, offer and customer verification. For these entrepreneurs, we offer our incubator preparation program PreInk where you as an entrepreneur get the opportunity to build on your idea and hopefully get the opportunity to enter the incubator process after 6 months.
You get to sit in our creative office space and take part in our vast network through the many free events that are organised at Ideon Science Park.
Here you’ll find a broad diversity of companies, all united by their passion for entrepreneurship. Whatever you want to achieve with your company, we tailor your route to success!
WHO CAN APPLY
You can apply at any time during the year. Normally we take in about 10 – 15 companies per year in the incubator and about 30 entrepreneurs in the PreInk-program.
