In addition to dedicated office space, the incubated companies will benefit from a range of specialized services during their first year of activity (eg market research, evaluation of competitive factors and market analysis, patent search, etc.).
The event, sponsored by the Province of Cosenza and the Carical Foundation, will be held at the Incubator’s Conference room (Vermicelli Square) in the presence of representatives of important public and private institutions.
At this occasion the following important topics will be addressed:
- Universities, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
