Gründerparken Vest – a New Centre for Innovative Entrepreneurs

In addition to facilitation of office space for start-ups, Gründerparken Vest will be a good place for networking between entrepreneurs, investors and the R&D community.

GCE Subsea has a long tradition of assisting entrepreneurs and start-up companies, and has close ties to BTO-Nyskapingsparken incubator in Bergen. Gründerparken Vest will be a good complement to the other incubators in the region providing more alternatives for subsea entrepreneurs. – We strongly support this incubation initiative, and believe in sharing experience and competence between these different arenas, says Owe Hagesæther, CEO of GCE Subsea

Selection Criteria

The new incubator Gründerparken Vest will accommodate entrepreneurs, start-ups and projects with a growth and innovation potential.

The company or project must satisfy the following criteria:

• be a business well suited for working in a shared office environment
• have a desire for being associated with an entrepreneurial environment
• be willing to share their knowledge with other park members
• have high ambitions on their own behalf

Gründerparken Vest offers rental of office spaces on an hourly, daily, monthly or annual basis, and has several common meeting room facilities. Furthermore, the park will offer various assistance to the tenants in terms of business development advisory, professional and social events and so forth.

Seeking Bright Business Ideas

− Our aim is to co-locate young and innovative Sotra-based companies under the same roof. This way we hope to create an innovative and inspiring environment that will attract the most promising business ideas and start-ups in our region, says Monica Kjørlaug Gustavsen, Project Coordinator for Gründerparken Vest.

We wish Gründerparken Vest all the best and will explore the possibilities of future support and cooperation with them, says Owe Hagesæther, CEO of GCE Subsea.
