Dr Anna Torz
EU|BIC Poznan Science and Technology Park (Poland)
Being an EU|BIC is an exciting way to accelerate PPNT’s development. The opportunities that come with the network of organisations involved in supporting startups are truly worth exploring!
Stojan Gorup
Former CEO of EU|BIC Sezana
The EU|BIC quality mark criteria most of all they give us the possibility to improve our functioning as we have now the possibility to benchmark our results with other EU|BICs. The EU|BIC quality assessment helped us to think about our own expectations in terms of performances and internal organisation. Furthermore, within the framework of the former Slovene Technology Parks and Incubators Association we were putting much effort to lobby for a better regulation of the industry, and the criteria provided us much help to frame this action coherently.
Laura Lecci
CEO, EBN
The pan-European EU|BIC business innovation community and the Certified EU|BIC quality label were designed as pioneering models for economic growth, facilitated by the EBN Secretariat. Throughout the pandemic, we have witnessed how the model of supporting entrepreneurial innovation continues to be the accelerator for recovery and a solution-driver for global challenges.
Our members, who we serve via the EU|BIC community, partners and the EBN team remain committed to co-design our desired future supported by innovation: creating greater wellbeing to European citizens – and beyond.
