However, the incumbent has received long-term basic financing of the business, which is a prerequisite for future participation in the national program 2. In an ERDF project, we operate throughout the county. 3. Based a clearer structure together with ALMI and business offices. 4. Not really in the goal of the task yet. 5. May be an effect of new ownership conditions. 6. Ongoing discussions on cooperation with MiUN + possible excellence with Åkroken. In 2018 a Norwegian Startup exchange program will begin

Approach and implementation

We have clarified Inkbuatorn´s core business as Support for start-up companies as well as building a successful start-up scene in Jämtland. The latter is done in a collaborative project with ALMI, Region JH, 6 business offices and an association of the larger companies in the region. The incubator is the project owner. The incubator has awarded expert support to the 10 companies we have in the incubator in 10 different areas.
