Tarmac Incubator

10 years ago, Tarmac was the first so called now incubator in France to be created in Grenoble to answer a real need for new companies to settle in quick other than renting or buying their offices which is an important cost for early stage start-ups.
Start-ups will find all the resources such as a work location at the foot of the Alpine peaks, support services disposal for example negotiated business partnership; consultant, meeting rooms; reprography; central purchasing office. Finally, they benefit from a dynamic around an entrepreneurial community built through networking event & entrepreneur experience exchange.
Start-ups can attend the Tarmac through 3 different ways: a complete 3 year incubation; a support outside the Tarmac; a soft-landing program.
The beneficiaries are start-ups early created seeking for recruitment, administrative, commercial back up & expertise as well as investment & funding. Before entering the incubator, they must apply and convince a selection jury composed of bankers, accountants but also innovation supporting structures, funding structures and public authorities who are able to validate the relevance and the potential of the start-ups to develop and growth on the Grenoble territory.
27 Start-ups are incubated today. The Tarmac is supported by institutional, private and research partners that comfort its place as a key structure for start-ups creation and development.
