Pre-incubation
digital or in the metaverse
The Pole in Málaga offers two incubation programs for emerging projects or ideas in the Media & Entertainment sector and in Virtual Reality and the metaverse.
GO2Work:
Specific pre-incubation for
video games and digital content
This pre-incubation model focuses on the video game and entertainment industry and is developed under the Go2Work program at The Pole, the result of a collaboration between EOI (School of Industrial Organization) and Málaga City Council, co-financed by the European Social Fund.
The foundations of this business development program are:
Lean Startup methodology with a specialist mentor to help launch the project.
Specialized advice for each project.
Coworking space available during the pre-incubation program.
Workshops, seminars and events, including the final Demo Day to showcase the initiatives.
From the start, each project has a dedicated mentor to guide its development.
Additionally, each project receives tailored guidance specific to its idea.
Throughout the pre-incubation program, participants have access to a dedicated workspace at The Pole.
The program includes training capsules on general topics, as well as events such as the final Demo Day to present the initiatives.
Over nearly six months, participating projects (around twenty per edition) receive the training and guidance needed to turn their ideas into a minimum viable product, market-ready and competitive.
The program is specially tailored to the video game, audiovisual production and extended reality industries in Málaga, and is the only one of its kind at the national level.
Any entrepreneur residing in Spain can apply, regardless of the stage of their project, provided they are not employed full-time by another company.
