How We Help Startups
From Idea to Market
Is Your Idea the Next Big Thing?
We’ll give you the support you need to find out. Our dedicated team of professional business, pitch, and investment coaches works closely with you to turn your idea into a successful company.
The right support at the right time
Our business development process combines dedicated coaching with access to a wider ecosystem of expertise, experience, and connections. When you face a specific challenge or opportunity, we connect you with the right people—from mentors, investors, and industry experts to partner organizations and other specialists.
More than a program
This integrated approach gives you more than a program. It gives you a strong support structure around your company, helping you build a proven business, develop a clear strategy for growth, and build the network and resources you need for the next stage of your journey.
Community and network
As part of Ideon, you become part of a community of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, partners, and experts. You can learn from others, exchange ideas, find new collaborators, and build relationships that create new opportunities.
You bring the ambition and the idea. We bring the people, knowledge, and connections to help you move forward.
We have grown alongside the incubator and Ideon Science Park. We participated in the incubator program for two years, which was incredibly valuable for us. We have greatly benefited from the network we built at Ideon.”

Business Development for Growth
The Tech Hub
When you join Ideon, you also enter the Tech Hub – our entrepreneurial community and meeting place.
Here, you’ll work alongside other founders and get access to business developers, experts, mentors, investors, industry, researchers and partners. It’s a place to work, meet, learn, exchange experiences and make the connections that can move your company forward.
If you join any of our incubator growth programs, you’ll also have a dedicated business developer who works closely with you – challenging your thinking, helping you focus and connecting you with the right people and opportunities when you need them.
