Planned 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.
