Business/Project Incubator
How does the business/project incubator of Gers work? Firstly, a
business/project incubator is a "facility established to nurture young
(start-up) firms during their early months or years" (businessdictionary.com).
Ways in which an incubator, specifically the EGC of Gers, does this is by
providing affordable work space, shared offices and services, management
training, marketing support, and financing advice. Thanks to these services
small businesses have a larger chance of survival during their beginning stages.
Business Opportunities
The EGC of Gers is an active participant in the NAVOBS
PLUS project. "The NAVOBS
PLUS project aims to improve the
participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in Research and Technology
Development (RTD) activities related to the development of innovative services
based on Space infrastructures.
NAVOBS PLUS
is focused in particular on supporting SME participation in RTD
activities related to GALILEO, GMES and Space Telecom-based services
which is one of the priority research areas of the seventh framework
programme of the European Commission (EC)" (www.navobs.com).

continually looking for partners in their territorial and European
