This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
1. Innovation Incubator
Its aim is to organise meetings with research teams so as to learn about their interests and past achievements. Research teams or individual researchers who developed innovative technologies were offered support and counselling, thanks to which they found out whether companies were interested in a given technology and whether these companies perceived it as competitive with previous technologies. The team of PSTP experts developed a path of commercialisation and valuation for the technologies which were the most interesting to the companies. During the implementation of the project PSTP specialists met with research teams representing Poznań public universities.
2. Seed fund
The target groups are mainly entrepreneurs and researchers who plan to run their own business, who understand the market, competition, with its positive features, and, most importantly, who are developing innovative solutions and that is why they need an investor. Selected ideas are developed from the moment of defining primary assumptions with regard to the functioning of the business, in close cooperation with coordinators and experts and until the key business decisions are made.
