Knowbel

Knowbel is located in a structure of about 1000 square metres equipped with offices, laboratories, a warehouse, meeting rooms, a reception and shared co-working spaces.

The incubation model provides:

• access based on screening of executive summary, motivational assessment and due diligence performed by independent advisors
• the provision of real incubation services
• business acceleration consisting of an innovative training program and consultation based on open lab methodology with an emphasis on problem-solving and presentation of concrete case studies and best practice
• a mentorship program that allocates a high-profile mentor to work alongside each incubated startup
• support of a tutor with experience in high-tech business creation
• once incubated, companies will receive a detailed incubation plan outlining: operational and development objectives of the acceleration program, expected results and regular evaluation opportunities at set milestones, the duration of the program

The business acceleration program includes four actions:

• a startup training plan
• open labs dedicated to studying business through a 'learning by doing' methodology and concrete case studies
• events that promote project dissemination, team building, comparison and evaluation of projects and aspiring entrepreneurs, and business-matching with potential partners
• a program dedicated specifically to high schools, aimed at promoting the dissemination of a culture of entrepreneurialism
