RBS Incubator

Impact of the RBS Incubator

21% of Rome Business School students and alumni are now entrepreneurs

210 startup projects submitted

37 startups incubated

50% of developed startups are now successfully on the market

“The RBS4Entrepreneurship project has a noble character: in addition to providing equity-free educational and entrepreneurial development opportunities open also to entrepreneurs not enrolled in Rome Business School”

“Participants can benefit from a dimension of diversity that is rare compared to usual national incubation contexts – this diversity, quantifiable in the involvement of students from more than 57 countries worldwide, represents a fundamental asset for all stakeholders: we have brought to Italy more than 1375 young international entrepreneurs generating startup projects in more than 31 market segments on a global scale“. Florinda Orsini Head of RBS Career Services and RBS4Entrepreneurship Program Director

RBS closed the third edition of RBS4Entrepreneurship

During the Pitch Day, the top 5 selected startups in the program presented their idea in front of a panel of Italian and international business angels and venture capitalists, being able to receive initial feedback and meet potential investors. The winning project is Withinne, a 100 percent sustainable women’s clothing brand that focuses on a circular business model, conceived by a team of three female Master’s in Fashion & Design Management students. The project will now embark on an acceleration process of an additional five weeks before being launched on the market.

Nils Wilhem, Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation

“With this program, you discover aspects you initially don’t think about when you dream of becoming an entrepreneur, you learn a lot from one-on-one meetings with already established and successful entrepreneurs. The incubator really gives you the motivation and guidance to go in the right direction with the project you love.”

“A very important observatory also for the analysis and detection of post-pandemic entrepreneurial development trends”

“Between 2021 and 2022 we witnessed a 70 percent increase in the development of projects in previously crippled sectors such as tourism and agritourism. In cultural startup ideas we note a decline in blockchain components and an increase in the physicality of services and products. The themes of circular economy, social impact, and sustainability, to date the accumulating characters of 85 percent of the projects developed in RBS since 2021, remain nice and firm.” Florinda Orsini Head of RBS Career Services and RBS4Entrepreneurship Program Director
