StartAlp and ScaleAlp, business incubators and startups accelerators in Val d'Aosta

The Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini (FGB) runs the Pepinieres d'Entreprises, two business incubators and accelerators in the Valle d'Aosta region. These services, available at the Aosta and Pont-Saint-Martin sites, offer start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises prospects for local, national and cross-border cooperation in business development. 

With the aim of promoting innovation in the Valle d'Aosta ecosystem, the two centres offer support and guidance to young entrepreneurs, start-ups and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in two ways: StartAlp, the incubation pathway, and ScaleAlp, the acceleration pathway. Both programmes offer comprehensive accompaniment, including mentoring and business coaching. Participation in the activities provides support in finding public or private funding and access to monthly mentoring. 

The Aosta and Point-Saint-Martin centres, active since 1997 and 2004 respectively and managed since 2017 by the Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini, include two coworking spaces, a digital lab and a prototyping lab, and host popular events on innovation. Moreover, at the centres it is possible to rent lots and coworking spaces, participate in networking events and trainings on specific topics related to entrepreneurship.
