Accelerate and promote the Alpine Start-up Ecosystem

Outcomes

Overview

The Alpine Space is home to several of the most economically dynamic and innovative regions in Europe. Nevertheless, in the field of entrepreneurship, it does not fulfil its transnational competitive potential compared to other European hubs. SCALE(up)ALPS improved support services for Alpine Space start-ups, to help them in the delicate upscaling phase. It aimed at turning the Alpine Space into a hub for scale-ups and therefore making it more attractive and competitive.
