The Barcelona Science Park Bioincubator: weakness and strentghs
Weakness: As a public incubator, not participating directly in the companies, we have little control about the development of the companies regarding progression of their scientific project, business strategy….
Strengths:
Two complementary institutions working together, offering the companies support and advise about a wide range of aspects, from scientific to management issues.
Very dynamic science park environment
