In recent times, a modernized concept of Business Incubation Parks has emerged in Spain, or business parks that cater to all the development of innovative small business ventures and add real value to their business concepts.
These Business Incubation Parks are seen as the future of innovative entrepreneurs, since there the new entrepreneur receives help with the comprehensive management and strategy of his business, is financially, administratively and commercially advised, and is seeking subsidies and investors. interested in the project, trying to facilitate the work of the entrepreneur down to the smallest detail.
The objective of these Projects is to favor the emergence of innovative activities in a regional development process, at the same time as opening the way to international markets; Integrate services into coherent "packages"; Define the modes of cooperation with the university, institutional and business environment, and finally, Create the European Network of CEEIs, the European BIC Network, which has since acquired a prominent place among the recognized European networks in the SME sector.
Let's see some cases of all those that are already working:
The first in the vicinity of Granada, in the town of Jun is the Center for Innovation and Technology (CIT) led by the Jun and Abengoa City Council, which has the challenge of overcoming the incubator concept since, in addition to space and financing, new entrepreneurs They have contact services with potential clients from abroad, advice and services of all kinds. The key is to facilitate down to the smallest detail the work of the entrepreneur.
The second in Malaga, Bic Euronova, (CEEI), with the participation of the Andalusian Government, the Malaga City Council and Unicaja, facilitate the entire process of creating innovative SMEs by capturing projects promoting, motivating and guiding the future entrepreneur. Once chosen, the companies advise them, help in the legal formation, they are offered tools such as services, tutorials and all kinds of information related to the new business, as well as a consulting area in business strategy, management, commerce, finance and grants from universities.
They constitute in themselves a way to overcome an Export Consortium, since by having collaborative strategies seeking to engage producers, entrepreneurs, suppliers, economic and academic institutions, which tend to improve competitiveness, in fact, it is closer to the figure of a regional cluster.
The result that is being obtained from these experiences is highly satisfactory, not only due to the regional inter-business synergy, they are due to the reduction of costs, the implementation of academic strategies for businesses and the feeling of strength that the whole prints.
Based on a macro policy that involves and commits all parties, it is not an abstract or unfeasible idea, but it would constitute a fabulous strategic tool for the development of small and medium-sized Argentine companies that cannot in isolation reach levels of competitiveness that the world demands.
How positive it would be to be able to copy this experience in our country, right? In fact, there are already some provinces, such as Río Negro working on the subject, let us hope that it is a successful project.
