Innovation South Greenland has completed the first pilot program of the incubator scheme in Narsaq. The program – created in collaboration with INUVA – aims to strengthen local entrepreneurship and help small businesses develop.
Nine companies signed up, and six completed the program.
Participants received individual advice on everything from operations and generational change to financing and growth plans. In addition, they participated in webinars on topics such as collaboration, insurance, artificial intelligence, and more.
According to Claus Christoffersen from INUVA, the program has made a real difference: “Small steps can open big doors when you get the right sparring.”
Several companies have now established contact with the Bank of Greenland, Nalik Venture, and the Vestnorden Fund and are continuing to work on financing and new investments.
ISG’s director, Miki Jensen, sees the program as the starting point for something bigger: “There are strong local forces in the region, and we see potential in spreading the model to the entire region.”
Maria Lyberth Jensen from Arctic Lingua says of her participation: “I have received valuable sparring and clear guidance, which has strengthened me in my work towards becoming self-employed.”
The pilot project will be evaluated in early 2026 with a view to rolling out the scheme to the rest of the region.
