The pre-incubation stage focuses on projects with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) below 2. During this phase, entrepreneurs receive personalized support in both business and product development through one-on-one consulting and specialized services aimed at refining early-stage concepts. In the incubation phase, which applies to projects with a TRL between 2 and 6, entrepreneurs are offered comprehensive support that includes business strategy, product development, funding strategies, and human development, all through tailored one-on-one consulting and services designed to prepare the startup for growth. Finally, post-incubation extends this support to projects at the same TRL range (2-6), ensuring continuous guidance and refinement in business operations, product enhancement, funding strategy, and human development to maximize the potential for long-term success.
