It is known that starting a business is associated with costs. When looking for money to start, first look at the opportunities available in our region.
The industry specialization of the Platform was established on the basis of smart specializations of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Taking into account the experience gained by the Rzeszów Regional Development Agency from participation in the previous edition of the Start-up Platforms, it was established that the most innovative business ideas arise in the IT area, which smoothly blends with the other indicated industries. Their selection is also related to the availability of technical, expert and mentoring facilities in the voivodeship and the potential of local universities.
It is worth taking part in the Startup School, a free series of trainings where you can learn how to open or develop a beginner business, and above all how to apply to the Start In Podkarpacie Start Platform.
Basic information can be found on the Start in Podkarpackie website.
