iMinds collaborates with research partners to convert digital knowhow into real-life products and services that change people’s lives for the better. Key asset is that it's agile, has an open research mind set and a proven methodology.Within its mission to stimulate entrepreneurship and the creation of new start-ups and spin-offs in the Digital sector, iMinds has developed an incubation program (iStart) in which it supports entrepreneurs through the early development of their start-ups. The goal of an iStart incubation project is to assess the feasibility of a business idea (Digital-related) and prepare the (commercial) launch of the first product(s) and the establishment of a start-up to drive this commercialisation.
The program is open to the iMinds research community, other academic researchers, external entrepreneurs and students, who wish to engage in the commercialisation of a technology-driven innovation, idea or project. iStart may support projects aiming at creating value in both the business and/or social sense of the word.
