1. Introduction and Background

The Cadiz Free Trade Zone is a public body that works for the socio-economic development of the province of Cadiz. It does this by providing services and facilities intended to meet the needs of the Cadiz business community, and tools to increase its competitiveness. Based on this premise, the IncubAzul project was born, a pioneering new centre of innovation and technological expansion in the province of Cadiz.

The High-Tech Incubator project, for the promotion of innovation and technology transfer in the Blue Economy sector, IncubAzul "[BlueEcoIncuba x Logistical]Tech = ZONA BASE, is 80% co-financed by the ERDF, within the Multiregional OP of ERDF Spain 2014 -2020 under Main Priority 3: Enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs; Thematic Objective 3: Improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises; and Investment Priority 3.a. Promoting entrepreneurship, in particular by facilitating the economic exploitation of new ideas and fostering the creation of new firms, including through business incubators.

2. Proyecto de Incubadora de Alta Tecnología "[BlueEcoIncuba x Logistical]Tech = ZONA BASE

IncubAzul "[BlueEcoIncuba x Logistical]Tech = ZONA BASE (hereafter, IncubAzul) is a response to the real need to attract entrepreneurs, create spaces to develop synergies, and facilitate the arrival of dozens of new and attractive initiatives.

IncubAzul aims to promote innovation and technology transfer to micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Blue Economy sector in Andalusia, understood as a sector that is formed by different interdependent subsectors that are all intrinsically connected to the sea, and rely on common skills and shared infrastructure, as defined by the European Commission in its policy paper "Blue Growth opportunities for marine and maritime sustainable growth".

This sector encompasses subsectors as diverse as marine bioresources and aquatic products, aquaculture, fisheries, the extraction of marine mineral resources, long and short-haul shipping, maritime transport services for passengers or goods, coastal tourism, recreational ports and sailing, offshore wind energy, ocean renewable energies, blue biotechnology, desalination, coastal protection, and monitoring and surveillance.

3. How does the Incubator work?

The IncubAzul High-Tech Incubator (hereafter, HTI) will offer a comprehensive service focused on offering "everything that a new company may need to facilitate its work and thereby contribute to its rapid growth". This includes:

  • Incubation spaces; Remote or physical sites, in private or shared offices, with basic furniture, Wi-Fi, electricity, and water included.
  • Open Future business acceleration programme: Delivered through tutoring, mentoring, training, networking, support for international expansion and access to financing with the aim of turning the start-up into a viable company
  • Access to our own or third-party research spaces and infrastructure.
  • Cost-reducing services to facilitate day-to-day working, including reprography, reception and the collection and delivery of mail.
  • Availability of meeting and training rooms.

The programme involves three phases:

Incubation (preparing the ground) Acceleration (seed and growth) Consolidation
IDEA AND PLANNING DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IMPLEMENTATION

 

In the Incubation Phase: ideas or technologies are developed that enable incipient business initiatives to examine their viability and how they fit into the Blue Economy sector.

In the Acceleration phase: the focus is on building business models for commercial initiatives with the aim of facilitating the necessary conditions for the projects to be marketable and go to market.

The Incubation Phase will have an initial duration of 4 months; When the 4 months have passed, it will be reviewed whether the support is maintained and an intensive acceleration Phase will be proposed for 4 more months.

Exceptionally, if an accelerated company formally requests it, CFTZC and TELEFÓNICA, (hereafter, the Organisation) may grant a grace period of up to four additional months to be accompanied by an explanation of its decision based on the circumstances of each particular case. The purpose of this period is to ensure that incubated projects that are not mature enough to be accelerated can continue in development and the areas that need greater assistance can be enhanced.

If the results of the evaluation are favourable at the end of this phase, and if the incubated projects so wish, they may continue to the consolidation phase.

In the Consolidation phase: the company establishes itself in the market. This period may continue, at the discretion of the organisation and if the project wishes, for a period up to a maximum of five years.

To offer the services, we have the collaboration of TELEFÓNICA SOLUCIONES DE INFORMÁTICA Y COMUNICACIONES DE ESPAÑA, S.A.U., winner of the tender for the consultancy specialized in incubation and business acceleration programs EXP CA-0259-2023-00-A.

Likewise, TELEFÓNICA will be in charge of directing the management, operation and dynamization of the acceleration program of the selected projects.

This period will be aimed at ensuring that incubated projects that are not mature enough to be accelerated can continue in development, promoting those areas that need greater assistance.

In the case of business projects hosted at the IAT that obtain a negative evaluation without a solution for improvement and continuity, the hosting will be terminated.
