AlmaCube, Bologna
AlmaCube is the Incubator of the University of Bologna , founded jointly with Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna and Fondazione Alma Mater to promote and sustain entrepreneurship in the local University system.
AlmaCube does not participate financially in the start-ups hosted, but actively promotes and facilitate funding contacts and processes with professional investors.
AlmaCube can host up to sixteen new technology based start-ups, in twelve offices of 20 sqmt. and four of 40 sqmt.
A preferred evaluation is given to University originated projects. Other projects, however, will be considered as well to promote diversity and favour complementarily among the start-ups incubated.
Almacube hosts the initial phases of the start-up process, but cannot host any production related activity or, more generally, the expansion of the business. The presence in the incubator is initially limited to one year, with a possible extension for another year under the discretional judgement of the Steering Committee.
AlmaCube does not focus on a specific industry or technological field to sustain the multiple disciplines of excellence of the University of Bologna .
In any case, to enter Almacube the applicants must have incorporated or be in the processes of incorporating a new company.
AlmaCube is strictly linked and connected with the StartCup business plan competition.
