Welcome

SPICE means Science Park and Innovation Center Experts. SPICE Group is a global network of individual experts The main fields of expertise are:

• business incubation,
• innovation centers,
• science and technology parks,
• regional economic development,
• technology transfer and
• entrepreneurship
• policies related with these areas

Members of the SPICE Group come from various professional backgrounds. This network combines experience and skills from many different areas, such as economic development agencies, financial institutions, private enterprises, consulting and law firms and governmental organisations.

Members represent

• 26 associations (national and international) of business incubators and technology/science parks
• 41 countries.

Our goal is not to be the largest network by numbers, but an efficient, living network driven by motivation, active cooperation and mutual trust.

Membership in SPICE Group therefore is personal and by invitation only. But there is a possibility to try.
