THE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM, UNITED.
INCENTRO is the association that brings together and represents the innovation community in the Marche, Abruzzo, and Umbria regions: incubators, startups, innovative SMEs, universities, research centers, investors, and industry operators.
We promote sustainable growth and the spread of an innovative entrepreneurial culture, enhancing the skills, experiences, and initiatives of our members. We were created to give a unified voice to the ecosystem and to foster collaboration, connections, and regional development.
We do not directly provide incubation or consulting services: these are carried out by the incubators within our network. Our role is to coordinate, represent, and enhance the entire ecosystem.
OUR MISSION
We support and develop the innovation ecosystem of Central Italy through institutional representation, the creation of networks among key stakeholders, the promotion of an innovation culture, and high-impact initiatives.
We facilitate access to opportunities, resources, and funding, contributing to the enhancement of local territories and the growth of talent.
