The University of Calabria inaugurated on November 30th, 2010 the new business incubator "TechNest", located within the University’s Technology park and that will house up to 20 high-tech start-up companies.
The Incubator TechNest was set up as a result of the C.R.E.S.C.I.T.A. project, funded by the Ministry of Economic Development. The project, in which INNOVA was an active partner, was aimed at promoting the social and economic development of the Calabria Region by selecting new entrepreneurial ideas and high-tech innovative companies in phase of start-up or newly constituted and provide them with technical, economic and financial assistance. Together with the project partners, INNOVA strongly contributed to reach the projects' goals of which one of the most important was the setting up of the incubator.
An article "Un Incubatore per la Calabria" (in Italian) was dedicated to the Incubator, published in the Sole 24 Ore, 30-11-2010.
