Abstract

The government of the Campania region in southern Italy has established a technology transfer centre for the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. The Regional Centre for ICT Competencies (RCICT) promotes the transfer of ICT to local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and encourages the creation of new knowledge-based companies in the ICT sector. The partners in the RCICT project are universities and public research centres of the Campania region. One of the RCICT's programmes is the establishment of 13 incubators for entrepreneurial ideas in the ICT sector – one for each partner organization. In addition to providing space, equipment and services, the incubators will form an online network for the dissemination of information and experiences, the exchange of views, and distance education. These activities will promote an entrepreneurial culture in the participating institutions, and the best entrepreneurial ideas will be developed in the new regional ICT company incubators. This paper describes the programme from organizational, managerial, financial and technical perspectives.
