What's Landing?

Landing is a high value strategic program that grants knowledge- intensive and technological business initiatives the access to a network of platforms in diferent Innovation Systems making their internationalization easier and quicker.

Landing offers a privileged platform: an international incubator at Barcelona’s Innovation pole, one of the biggest European metropolises which is also the economic, cultural and administrative capital of Catalonia, the region located at the northeast of Spain, in the Mediterranean sea.

Landing is a two-way Program:

Inward Landing: Seeking to incubate seedling foreign companies in Barcelona, and link them in to the Spanish Innovation System.

Forward Landing: Facilitate the incubation abroad of Spanish companies, linking them in to remote systems of the Landing network.

Landing’s vision is that of Barcelona and Catalonia become nodes of the world’s innovation system, and that zero distance is attained between global innovation poles.

Landing is a partnership between two business support units from two of the main Spanish technical universities: UPC Programa Innova, La Salle Innovation Park and Barcelona’s municipality company 22@Barcelona.

LANDING counts with the collaboration of Triple Helix local agents: CIDEM, COPCA, CAMBRA DE COMERÇ and ECONOMIC PROMOTION.
