Implementation and certification projects of the CERNE model to qualify and train business incubators to generate high-value-added ventures.

Its adoption brings numerous benefits to the incubator:

• Reduced variability of results
• Expansion of the quantity and quality of incubated enterprises
• Increased transparency
• Standardization of incubator management processes
• Increasing the success rate of ventures

The principles of the Cerne model are based on regional development and the sustainability of the incubator

• REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: the projects generated must produce positive effects on the development of the region.
• INNOVATION: supported enterprises need to differentiate themselves from existing businesses in the region.
• NETWORKING: Integration with other actors in the region’s innovation ecosystem is necessary.
• SUSTAINABILITY: Be economically viable, socially fair and environmentally correct.
• EFFECTIVENESS: It must be effective (ability to achieve objectives) and efficient (use available resources well).

For each stage of maturity of the incubator, Cerne’s proposal is to be a guide for the sustainable development of its operation.
