LPNT CONCEPTION
“A Science Park is an organization managed by specialized
professionals, whose main aim is to increase the wealth of its
community by promoting the culture of innovation and the
competitiveness of its associated businesses and knowledgebased institutions.” (The International Association of Science
Parks (IASP), 2002).
The university is the knowledge source, the market is the ocean
where that knowledge disembogues, and Science and
Technology Parks are the rivers that carry the knowledge flow
from its source to the ocean.

Science2Business –
the Poland's biggest
innovation incubator
"Od pomysłu do przemysłu” (From Idea to Industry) – the Poland's biggest
innovation incubator, Science2Business, helps Polish scientists, engineers
and founders to commercialize their ideas, protect intellectual property, and
to build companies, which are to derive profits from innovations.
The companies established with the incubator may expect experts' support,
a base for tests and research and a subsidy amounting up to 200 thousand
EUR. Science2Business operates in very prospective branches:
biotechnology (and telemedicine), renewable energy, information and
mobile technology. The innovation incubator, Science2Business, operates
thanks to the EU subsidy under the Innovative Economy Operational
Program for 2007-2013. Founders from all over the country may apply to
the incubator.
Science2Business –
the Poland's biggest
innovation incubator
Science2Business directly co-operates with the Centre for Innovation and
Technology Transfer of the Lublin Science and Technology Park; the
Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), Warsaw University of Technology
and with the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn –
Science2Business fills in the so-called capital gap. It is the first, the most
essential, link in the chain of financing "from idea to industry". The goal is
to prove that innovative solutions and profits from their commercialization
may remain in Poland instead of leaving the country to be given away for
a fraction of their real value. The incubator's role is to prompt a wide
group of scientists, engineers and founders, and also business
representatives, to develop innovative technologies and build profitable
companies on their basis.
Science2Business –
the Poland's biggest
innovation incubator
The support offered by Science2Business to the scientists and founders
includes evaluation of possibility of their ideas commercialization and of
their market potential, and also intellectual and industrial property
protection. The authors of innovations have an access to the infrastructure
necessary to conduct tests and prototyping and to a group of experts in
respective branches. Considerable support is also provided under the
strategy of commercialization and implementation of respective projects,
which is developed within the incubator, and the resulting support in
creating and managing companies which introduce innovations to the
market. The companies established based on ideas put forward to the
incubator have a chance to obtain a subsidy amounting up to 200
thousand EUR and assistance in obtaining further funds.
