Mission
|
Grain is a structure that searches for and supports people with innovative projects, who wish to create a startup company.
|
|
These projects must be linked to public research as follows:
|
|
either the technology must come directly from public research
|
|
|
or it must be closely linked to it,
|
|
that is to say, the people with the innovative project integrate technology coming from public research into their project. GRAIN's role is to facilitate the liason between both parties.
|
|
|
OBJECTIVES
|
|
Grain particularly encourages the creation of new companies
|
|
with high growth potential, helping them integrate into the regional economic system. It is hoped that in the long term these companies will generate a sustainable economic activity resulting in a significant source of new jobs for qualified people, and the development of new export markets.
|
|
|
Grain has a notable role in the transfer of technology from
|
|
public research to new companies: these companies integrate the technology in such a way as to convert it into a significant competitive advantage for themselves.
