Start-up Incubator

You have already shown courage. You have founded your start-up. And now? Keep going. Ride out the rollercoaster of euphoria and doubt. Find people who believe in you. Meet others who are going through the same process. At NOI, we offer space and support for your start-up. For three years, we will support your company’s growth with our services:
• Start-up Performance Analysis. Once a year, we assess your start-up’s strengths and weaknesses. We analyse the market and identify opportunities and risks. This analysis is used to define your milestones.
• Coaching and workshops. We offer our start-ups regular coaching sessions with companies and investors. You can benefit from their know-how and market knowledge.
• Mentoring network. Our mentoring network includes experienced entrepreneurs who pass their know-how on to selected start-ups.
• Networking & Community. We connect you with strategic partners and integrate you into the NOI community.
• Access to financing. We help you define the right financing strategy with you, put you in touch with private investors and assist you in the search for public funding at the local, national and EU levels.
• Flexible workplaces, offices and labs.
