After the successful completion of the Turbine Test Drive 2018 in last October, four start-ups have joined the Turbine’s Incubation programme in January 2019. These start-ups are Friend’liveryKatapult, Connectme and Feuilles et fleurs.

The Incubation Program of Turbine

The Incubation program of Turbine lasts 12 months. During this time, the incubated start-ups benefits from free co-working seats, weekly business coaching with a dedicated coach, 30 hours of free access to experts in Marketing, Finance, Legal and more, access to Turbine’s network, media exposure via Turbine’s platform and press partners, tailor-made workshops among others.

Turbine in return takes 10% of equity from each incubated start-up, the aim is to finance our operations costs and support other projects in the future.

Our mission is to support start-ups and give them the tools and support they need for the pre-launch, start or scale their business. Turbine’s Incubation Programme helps entrepreneurs to better follow their respective milestone plan and identify new solutions for their challenges.

Turbine is supported by the ENL Group and accredited by the Mauritius Research Council, under the National SME Incubator Scheme (NSIS).
