Consorzio ARCA

ARCA, a consortium for the application of research and the creation of innovative enterprises, active since 2003, is a partnership between the University of Palermo and a private entrepreneurial group committed in industrial research and technological transfer.

The Consortium started, in 2005, the Incubator ARCA to promote and assist the birth of innovative business initiatives.

The incubator is located within the university campus of Palermo, it has a total area of about 1,500 square meters and is built around a system of common areas (coworking, kitchen, living room), units for businesses, offices, staff and meeting rooms, training classrooms and dedicated laboratories.

In a complementary and integrated way with the activities of the incubator, we promote industrial research programs and technological transfer allocated at small and medium-sized enterprises, networks and industrial districts.
