The NoCry project will develop a Virtual Business Incubator service for the creative sector to spread knowledge, enhance networking and support business development among young creative people in the NP. It aims to increase economic growth by supporting the development of knowledge and an entrepreneurial culture by enhancing networking across borders in the creative sector. NoCry will also spread knowledge on creative entrepreneurship, train, and develop new ICT based tools for co-productions over distances and the distribution of creative productions. All work will be linked through joint development and exchange of knowledge for real transnationality and interaction between innovation and its application. Achievements: The first version of the www.incubiz.eu online platform will be introduced at LAVA09, the NPP Annual Conference 2009.
