Then you’re welcome here in the Aurorum Business Incubator!
The aim of the Aurorum Business Incubator is to guide, coach and support new technology-based, knowledge-oriented and leading-edge companies. Our mission is to encourage good business practices and to secure development and growth, from business plan to buoyant, expansive and successful companies.
Our work model is to ensure that new companies reach the market faster. We are also involved at an early date in helping to acquire ownership capital and venture capital, something important when launching and establishing the company’s services and products.
All the member companies are assembled in Aurorum Science Park, a creative environment that also stimulates the continued development of each member company.
What is a business incubator?
It does the same thing as an ordinary incubator, but for businesses. Aurorum Business Incubator helps your company grow faster.
The dictionary says this about the incubator:
'surroundings favourable to progress': a place, organization, or environment that promotes the growth or development of something
'a company promoting entrepreneurship for start-ups': a company or facility that promotes entrepreneurship by offering start-up companies, especially in high-tech industries, shared facilities and business advice
An incubator is a forum for start-ups or projects with the potential to become expansive companies that are highly knowledge- and technology-oriented.
The purpose of ABI is to give newly started companies the opportunity to develop their business in a favourable environment. This environment comprises a base to work from, training and guidance and access to networks, both financial and business-related.
