ZF Incubates
Startups

The CZFB will continue promoting the entrepreneurial ecosystem with the best initiatives and projects through its two high-tech incubators: the 3D Incubator, Europe's first 3D printing business incubator, and the Logistics 4.0 Incubator, the first in Spain dedicated to Industry 4.0 in the logistics sector.
Over 0 projects incubated across both incubators

Added Value

This high-tech Logistics 4.0 Incubator provides opportunities to boost the productive fabric, increase economic impact, and develop greater digital competencies, both in skills and knowledge, to consolidate the logistics hub.

It is the first incubator in Spain dedicated to Industry 4.0 within the logistics sector value chain.

We have already incubated 45 projects, contributing to the transformation of business ideas into future companies that generate jobs.

Logistics 4.0 incubator

The project, led by CZFB with the support of the Incyde Foundation and European FEDER Funds, was launched in 2023 as an incubator for logistics startups (specializing in innovative solutions, services, and products). In 2024, CZFB held a call to welcome new startups while simultaneously working with the five best startups from SIL, reflecting our institution's support for innovation and digitalization.

The space includes 1,000 m² of coworking, meeting rooms, one-on-one spaces, offices, and a multipurpose room. It also provides group and individual mentorships on business models, technical/business activity, marketing, access to funding sources, networking activities and with corporations and investors, and more.

Logo 3D Incubator

2024 confirmed the progressive growth of this CZFB initiative. The first European high-tech business incubator for 3D printing, created in 2019 and recognized by the Ministry of Finance as an example of management of European FEDER funds, was established by the Consorci de la Zona Franca and the Incyde Foundation of the Chambers of Commerce of Spain (as a pioneering example of the deployment of the Incyde incubation network). This exemplary sustainable innovation space includes a 1,000 m² networking area with all kinds of technological services and an experienced technical team to foster an ideal working environment for deploying testing, design, and post-processing, among other activities. It also offers support in areas such as finding funding sources and media outreach.
