Starting platforms for new ideas is an incubation program addressed to the originators and representatives of existing companies from the following provinces: Lublin, Podkarpacie, Podlasie, Świętokrzyskie or Warmian-Masurian. Thanks to the cooperation with selected platforms, they will be able to turn their projects into innovative products or services.

As part of the program, startups will receive:

• space for running a company;
• legal and accounting services;
• tax and marketing consulting;
• expert support in the form of a development plan, market research and analysis,
• and the best teams will be able to receive non-returnable funding to implement their ideas.

Currently, the process of selecting operators who will be directly responsible for supporting start-ups has started. After this stage, you will be able to apply to the program using a simple questionnaire. When you receive a positive assessment of your business idea and qualify it for the program, an incubation manager will be assigned to your project, which will prepare a detailed incubation plan for your project. The development works of the idea will last maximum eight months.

The applications for operators can be submitted from 30 April to 14 June 2018. The applications from innovation and science centers, science and technology parks as well as incubators from Eastern Poland are particularly demanded. 

More information about the program can be found on the dedicated website.
