The project is currently incubating over ninety startups from the first and second calls. The third call, closing in December 2023, brought us 169 applications and we are currently working on their evaluation. Fifty more startups should emerge from the submitted applications, which will expand the Technology Incubation portfolio. We have two more project calls planned for 2024, as we aim to support a total of 250 innovative companies.
