The Barcelona Science Park Bioincubator:our Philosophy

Located at the heart of the Barcelona Science Park: 1500 people, 3 academic research institutes, 45 companies

In collaboration with the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Barcelona

Goal: offering high quality space for the creation and development of technology-based companies arising mainly from an academic environment, with support technological infrastructure, and business management and financial advise

Deal-flow:

the companies enter the Bioincubator when they are legally constituted, with less than two years of activity

In most of the cases, via the TTO and the own PCB contacts

The Barcelona Science Park Bioincubator:Funding

Partially funded by the own Barcelona Science Park

In the First Generation (2002-2006) we had the financial support of the Catalan Government.

For the Second Generation (2007-2010), we count with the support of the Banco de Santander

Most of the projects have seed funds from national or regional governments; several of them count with business angels or VCs

The Bioincubator also offers the companies assistance in the fund raising process

The Barcelona Science Park Bioincubator: weakness and strentghs

Weakness: As a public incubator, not participating directly in the companies, we have little control about the development of the companies regarding progression of their scientific project, business strategy….

Strengths:

Two complementary institutions working together, offering the companies support and advise about a wide range of aspects, from scientific to management issues.

Very dynamic science park environment
