To grow is to change. To a bigger, stronger and higher level.

It is about realizing potential, but that only happens when the right conditions are in place. This is especially true for knowledge intensive companies with the ambition to step by step become larger and more successful businesses.

The process is far from linear, and the journey is full of challenges and first time experiences. How companies handle those challenges and experiences will shape and define them, and be decisive for whether they stay the course or stall.

Too many promising research based scaleups fail to fulfill their potential. They fade and are lost along the way. Not because the idea is lacking, but because they do not receive the right support in the form of independent advice, capital, commercial capabilities and networks.

As a society, we cannot afford to lose them. They are the ones who build the foundation for future competitiveness, jobs and prosperity, and who deliver effective and modern solutions. In climate, health, security and much more.

That is why INCUBA exists.

We give knowledge intensive scaleups what they need most: action oriented and welcoming people with a genuine interest in their success, a place where professionalism meets flexible solutions, and a community that opens doors.

We are a premium science park for companies that are ready for serious scaling. With us, companies do not just get space, but also access to experience and networks.

They receive targeted support, whether they are refining their investor pitch, finding the right partners or scaling their setup at high speed. And most importantly, they become part of a unique community where scaleups, researchers, mentors and investors meet, and where connections are formed both in everyday interactions and through our active matchmaking.

We are the place where knowledge driven companies grow.

Faster and stronger. Advance, together.
