What is a business incubator?

SISP defines a business incubator in the following way: Incubators offer a dynamic process for the development of people, businesses and companies. Incubators assist entrepreneurs with active and appropriate management, financial, technical and commercial networks as well as with a creative growth environment, with associated office services. The incubator can be a tool in the creation of strong new companies that generate new ideas and develop new technologies. This means the incubator can assist in creating new jobs and be a foundation for companies in high growth industries and thereby generate future jobs and innovations in the business community.

What is a Science Park?

SISP defines a science park in the following way: Science parks are stimulating and developing environments that offer infrastructure, networks and business development to knowledge-intense growth companies. A science park can be described as a meeting place for people, ideas, knowledge and creativity. A science park is often also a platform for major innovation and development projects. The science park generally has a close connection to a nearby university and/or an area where innovation- and knowledge-based companies develop and grow.
