Cos’è un incubatore e come funziona (Incubatori vs Acceleratori)
Sebbene gli incubatori e gli acceleratori siano molto simili, in genere gli incubatori accolgono startup che non hanno ancora ufficialmente avviato un’impresa o sono in una fase molto precoce, mentre gli acceleratori accettano solitamente aziende più sviluppate che possono essere affrontare un percorso di accelerazione e crescita attraverso uno specifico programma. Gli incubatori di startup e gli acceleratori alimentano l’ecosistema investendo competenze, tempo, contatti, uffici e investimenti per sviluppare startup italiane e internazionali e limitano il rischio che le società e i loro fondatori affrontano, attraverso l’offerta dei loro servizi che portano conoscenza, esperienza e know-how specializzato. Gli incubatori e acceleratori nell’ecosistema milanese sono distribuiti in quattro categorie principali, e includono grandi aziende quali TIM, WIND e Unicredit, Università come la Bocconi e il Politecnico di Milano, organizzazioni specifiche settoriali quali Fashion Technology Accelerator e iniziative di matrice pubblica come FabriQ. Questa guida spiega e identifica la struttura degli incubatori e degli acceleratori di startup a Milano e può aiutare a comprendere le diverse opzioni se si sta considerando di cercare questo tipo di supporto per far crescere la propria startup. La lista è in ordine alfabetico, segue l’originaria pubblicazione su questo articolo, stilato in inglese.
