On 4–5 May 2026 in Ingolstadt, Germany, the ARIES Incubator Central Coordination and Support Office team brought together key partners from across the alliance to align on priorities and strengthen the shared direction of work. With Research Coordinators and Entrepreneurship Leads present, the meeting provided an opportunity to review current progress, refine programme delivery, and agree on concrete next steps to support implementation across all strands of the initiative.
Discussions placed particular emphasis on ensuring coherence between research and entrepreneurship activities, as well as on how to further enhance the impact of joint programmes. A central focus was the continued development of the Entrepreneurship Academy and ARCs, alongside agreement on clear objectives and KPIs to better monitor progress and outcomes across the Alliance.
In addition, partners worked through planning for upcoming activities, including KCTWs, Network Workshops, and other collaborative events. This included defining responsibilities, aligning timelines, and ensuring that each activity contributes effectively to the broader strategic goals of ARIES Incubator.
The meeting supported strong alignment across all partners and reinforced a shared commitment to coordinated implementation and continued progress across the Alliance.
