Important results from the project
Goals were achieved through more admitted startups, established seed funds, a launched accelerator, and integrated sustainability work. Beyond this, the project led to other results: greater diversity via idea competitions, new international networks and investor contacts through national and international forums, and co-incubations with leading incubators. Deepened collaboration with academia also boosted idea inflow and raised the region’s innovation capacity.
