Startup Program

The startup program is adapted to the needs of startup teams and companies in accordance with the specific needs of the startup and the stage of development.

For teams that show commitment, work and determination, we provide the necessary help in defining a business model, as well as legal and administrative support when registering or running a company. In addition to networking with other startup founders and community mentors and expanding networks of contacts, teams have access to private offices and innovation labs to develop the first prototypes, test and build hardware solutions.

The program provides startups with access to potential investors and funding sources, while promoting innovative products and increasing the startup’s visibility and global exposure.

You can apply for support through this program throughout the year.
