There are more than 800 business incubators in the European Union today. The Enterprise DG launched a benchmarking project in December 2000, focusing on the management and the promotion of incubators. The aim was to identify indicators of their performance, including operational benchmarks.
Single entry point for all business in Europe regardless of business sector
CORDIS offers an easy way to identify the nearest business incubators and contact persons via a simple search feature. Available records cover members of Science Parks and Business and Innovation Centers (BICs) networks. The database, which currently contains around 625 incubators, aims to become the single entry point to all business incubators in Europe.
The European Commission developed PAXIS so as to illustrate the best European experiences in the creation of new innovative enterprises, in the support of spin-off companies and in the development of start-ups.

On the PAXIS website, the following useful contacts can be found:

- 15 regions of excellence
- 4 Thematic Networks
- 24 validation projects
