BIRD Incubator is proud to announce a new partnership with Scientifica Venture Capital, an Italian venture capital fund focused on supporting scientific and tech-driven startups. This partnership strengthens BIRD’s international network and creates new opportunities for early-stage teams looking to grow beyond local markets.

BIRD and Scientifica share a common goal: helping ambitious startups turn bold ideas into real businesses. Through this collaboration, BIRD will be able to connect its startups with a VC partner that not only provides funding but also understands the journey of building science-driven companies. The partnership will open up more chances for joint introductions, expert feedback, and cross-border collaboration, especially for founders working on deep tech, scientific innovation, and sustainable solutions.

“Partnering with BIRD Incubator boosts our mission to accelerate scientific innovation and grow high-impact startups globally,” said Carmen Cabrera, Head of Marketing & Communication at Scientifica Venture Capital. “We see this as an opportunity to connect with exceptional founders in Southeast Europe and support their journey from research to real-world impact.”

Sven Harjaček, Business Development Manager at BIRD Incubator, added:

“We’re excited to welcome Scientifica to our VC network. Their focus on science and technology is a great fit for the types of startups we may have in our incubator, and this partnership enriches our network. It provides our founders with more opportunities for funding and expert support when they’re ready to scale.”
