This exchange meets physically several times to showcase the state of the art of incubation and clustering, but it is also a continuous platform for the exchange of what works in innovation in KIS, linking business support practitioners and entrepreneurs to enable high levels of success in innovation exploitation.
The Partnership also intends to establish a new type of early stage funding paradigm by testing the potential to develop seed funds, linked to the leading edge business and technology incubators.
