Business incubators aim to support the successful establishment and further development of start‐up enterprises. 
Namen podjetniških inkuba‐ torjev je podpirati uspešno ustanavljanje in nadaljnji razvoj zagonskih podjetij.
II The main objective of the audit was to assess whether business incubation facilities co‐financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) had successfully supported high‐potential start‐up com‐ panies. 
II Glavni cilj revizije je bil oceniti, ali so podjetniški inku‐ batorji, ki so bili sofinancirani s sredstvi Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR), uspešno podpirali novoustanovljena podjetja z visokim potencialom rasti.
The audit team carried out an on‐the‐spot audit of a sample of incubators in four Member States. 
Revizijska ekipa je na kraju samem revidirala vzorec inkubatorjev v štirih državah članicah.
It also visited managing authorities in these Member States, and carried out a benchmarking exercise on an extended sample including incubators in two addi‐ tional Member States. III The Court concludes that the ERDF has made a signifi‐ cant financial contribution to the creation of business incubator infrastructure, particularly in Member States in which this type of business support was relatively rare. 
Obiskala je tudi organe upravljanja v teh državah članicah ter na razširjenem vzorcu, ki je zajemal tudi inkubatorje iz dveh dodatnih držav članic, izvedla primerjalno analizo III Sodišče ugotavlja, da je ESRR znatno finančno prispe‐ val k ustvarjanju infrastrukture podjetniških inkubator‐ jev, zlasti v državah članicah, v katerih je bila ta vrsta podpore podjetjem razmeroma redka.
However, the performance of audited incubators was modest. 
Kljub temu pa je bila smotrnost poslovanja revidiranih inkubatorjev skromna.
05 The disappointing results delivered by the audited incubators can be explained by the fact that estab‐ lished good practices had only been applied to a limited extent. 
Nerazveseljivi rezultati revidiranih inkubatorjev se lahko pripišejo dejstvu, da so se ustaljene dobre prakse uporabljale zgolj v omejenem obsegu.
Secondly, incubation services were only loosely linked to clients’ business objectives. 
Drugič, storitve inkubatorja so bile le rahlo povezane s poslovnimi cilji uporabnika.
Thirdly, monitoring systems within the incubators did not provide adequate management information. 
Tretjič, sistemi spremljanja znotraj inkubatorjev niso zagotavljali ustreznih upravljavskih informacij.
Finally, concerns about financial sustainability had hampered incubation activity. 
Poleg tega je zaskrbljenost zaradi finančne vzdržnosti ovirala dejavnost inkubatorja.
V At the level of the managing authority, management systems were too focused on output and did not pay sufficient attention to the operational activity of business incubators. 
V Na ravni organov upravljanja so bili sistemi upravlja‐ nja preveč osredotočeni na izložke in niso posvečali dovolj pozornosti operativni dejavnosti podjetniških inkubatorjev.
In particular, the procedure for selecting incubators for co‐funding had not given due consideration to several elements which are crucial for incubation activity such as staff qualifications, the scope and relevance of incubation services and finan‐ cial sustainability. 
Zlasti se pri postopku za izbiro inku‐ batorjev za sofinanciranje niso ustrezno upoštevali številni elementi, ključni za dejavnosti inkubatorja, kot so usposobljenost osebja, obseg in ustreznost storitev inkubatorja ter finančna vzdržnost.
In most cases, the expected benefits for the regional economy had not been evaluated. 
Pričakovane koristi za regionalno gospodarstvo v večini primerov niso bile ocenjene.
VI Although the Commission has made some effort to obtain knowledge about the activities and character‐ istics of business incubators in Europe, the support which it has offered cannot be considered to be ade‐ quate. 
VI Evropska komisija si je v določeni meri prizadevala za pridobitev informacij o dejavnostih in značilnostih podjetniških inkubatorjev v EU, vendar pa ni mogoče reči, da je bila podpora, ki jo je nudila, ustrezna.
The Commission’s activities to promote incuba‐ tors and good practices were too limited to mitigate the risk of failure for inexperienced and immature co‐financed incubators. IV 
Dejav‐ nosti Komisije za spodbujanje inkubatorjev in dobrih praks so bile preveč omejene, da bi zmanjšale tvega‐ nje neuspeha neizkušenih in nezrelih sofinanciranih inkubatorjev.
Firstly, the Commission should require Member States to make authorisation for the establishment of new incubators using EU co‐funding dependent on the fol‐ lowing considerations: (a) Business incubators should be established on the basis of detailed and realistic business plans, paying particular attention to the sustainability of their non‐profit incubation activity. (b) From the outset, incubation activity should be car‐ ried out by suitably skilled staff who can provide relevant individual support to clients and potential future entrepreneurs. (c) Incubators should proactively seek and acquire new clients irrespective of their geographical origin, focusing on those with innovative busi‐ ness ideas with high growth potential in order to maximise the efficiency of public funding and therefore the value added by EU funds. (d) The incubation process for each client company should start with the preparation of a detailed, tailor‐made incubation programme. 
Povzetek 06 VII Sodišče priporoča: prvič, Komisija naj od držav članic zahteva, naj bo odobritev ustanavljanja novih inkubatorjev z uporabo sofinanciranja EU odvisna od naslednjega: (a) podjetniški inkubatorji naj se ustanovijo na podla‐ gi podrobnih in realističnih poslovnih načrtov, pri čemer je treba posebno pozornost nameniti traj‐ nosti njihovih neprofitnih dejavnosti inkubatorja; (b) dejavnosti inkubatorja naj že od začetka izvaja primerno kvalificirano osebje, ki lahko zagotavlja ustrezno individualno podporo uporabnikom in morebitnim prihodnjim podjetnikom; (c) inkubatorji naj proaktivno iščejo in pridobivajo nove uporabnike ne glede na njihov geografski položaj, pri čemer naj se osredotočajo na tiste z inovativnimi poslovnimi idejami z visokim po‐ tencialom rasti, da se čim bolj poveča učinkovitost javnega financiranja in s tem dodana vrednost, ki jo zagotavljajo sredstva EU; (d) proces inkubiranja za posamezna podjetja uporab‐ nike naj se začne z oblikovanjem podrobnega in posameznemu podjetju prilagojenega programa inkubiranja.
The imple‐ mentation of this programme should be followed up, and the degree to which the business’s objec‐ tives have been achieved should be assessed. (e) Incubators should offer their services to non‐ resident companies, thereby allowing incubation support to have a larger impact on the local busi‐ ness community and improving possibilities for networking. (f) Incubators should set up a monitoring system based not only on the data obtained from their own activity, but also on business data produced by supported clients. 
Spremlja naj se izvajanje tega progra‐ ma in ocenjuje stopnja dosege poslovnih ciljev; (e) inkubatorji naj nudijo svoje storitve nerezidenčnim podjetjem ter tako omogočijo širši učinek podpo‐ re inkubatorja na lokalno poslovno skupnost in izboljšanje možnosti za mreženje; (f) inkubatorji naj vzpostavijo sistem spremljanja, ki bo temeljil na podatkih, pridobljenih v okviru njihovih lastnih dejavnosti, in tudi na poslovnih podatkih, ki jih predložijo uporabniki, ki prejemajo podporo; drugič, Komisija naj od organov držav članic zahteva, naj pri oblikovanju postopkov za izbiro in nadzor pro‐ jektov inkubatorjev, sofinanciranih iz ESRR, upoštevajo naslednje elemente: (g) pri merilih za izbiro projektov naj se več pozorno‐ sti nameni pričakovanim rezultatom projekta in ne zagotovitvi fizičnih izložkov; (h) v postopku ocenjevanja projektov in pri dolo‐ čitvi pogodbenih obveznosti naj se bolj upora‐ blja strokovno znanje dejavnosti podjetniških inkubatorjev; (i) raven javne podpore naj temelji na opredeljenih rezultatih, ki so bili napovedani za projekt inkuba‐ torja.
Thirdly, the Commission should: (k) update its knowledge concerning the effective‐ ness and efficiency of business incubation, and should apply this knowledge with a view to ensur‐ ing that ERDF support is well adapted to the needs of the business incubation sector; (l) resume its efforts to support the community of business incubators, and in particular those in receipt of EU support, for instance by organising knowledge and experience exchange with re‐ sponsible bodies in Member States. 
Višina plačil iz ESRR bi morala biti povezana z rezultati, ki jih doseže inkubator; (j) obdobje trajnosti naj se prilagodi tako, da bo ustrezalo dejanskemu življenjskemu ciklu sredstev podjetniškega inkubatorja, sofinanciranega iz ESRR; tretjič, Komisija naj: (k) posodobi svoje informacije o uspešnosti in učinko‐ vitosti podjetniških inkubatorjev ter te informacije uporabi za zagotovitev, da je podpora iz ESRR dobro prilagojena potrebam sektorja podjetniških inkubatorjev; (l) si še naprej prizadeva za podporo skupnosti pod‐ jetniških inkubatorjev, zlasti tistih, ki prejemajo podporo EU, na primer z organiziranjem izmenjave znanja in izkušenj s pristojnimi organi v državah članicah.
The initiative should target all business incubators, which could present their success stories, exchange knowledge and access peer support at European level. 
Ta pobuda bi morala biti namenjena vsem podjetniškim inkubatorjem, ki bi lahko pred‐ stavili svoje zgodbe o uspehu, izmenjali znanje in dostopali do podpore kolegov na ravni EU.
Introduction 07 Why are business incubators important? 
Uvod 07 Zakaj so podjetniški inkubatorji pomembni?
01 Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the creation of growth and jobs. 
01 Mala in srednje velika podjetja (MSP) imajo pomembno vlogo pri ustvarja‐ nju rasti in delovnih mest.
It is estimated that, as a whole, Europe’s 20,7 million SMEs account for 67 % of total employment and 58 %1 of gross value added2. 
Ocenjuje se, da 20,7 milijona MSP, kolikor jih je v EU, zagotavlja 67 % vseh delovnih mest in 58 %1 bruto dodane vrednosti2.
As a result, the provision of support to SMEs has become an increasingly important European polit‐ ical priority over the years. 
Zato je zagotavljanje podpore MSP z leti postalo vse pomembnejša predno‐ stna naloga EU.
The Lisbon strategy paid particular importance to the SME sector. 
Lizbonska strategija je sektorju MSP namenila posebno pozornost.
Later, the Europe 2020 strategy attached great weight to the importance of SMEs and innovation for the European Union economy and the key role they play in achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. 
Pozneje sta bila v strategiji Evropa 2020 posebej poudarjena po‐ men MSP in inovacij za gospodarstvo Evropske unije ter ključna vloga, ki jo imajo ti pri doseganju pametne, trajno‐ stne in vključujoče rasti.
02 Business incubators aim to provide broad and intensive support to young businesses. 
02 Namen podjetniških inkubatorjev je zagotoviti široko in intenzivno podpo‐ ro mladim podjetjem.
This support is most need‐ ed at the beginning of a company’s life cycle, when it is most at risk of failure. 
Ta podpora je najbolj potrebna na začetku življenj‐ skega cikla podjetja, ko je tveganje neuspeha največje.
The Court’s definition of a business incubator is provided in Box 1. 
Opredelitev pod‐ jetniških inkubatorjev, kot jo uporablja Sodišče, je navedena v okviru 1.
03 Published research suggests that SMEs which have received incubation sup‐ port are significantly less likely to fail during the first few years after their establishment. 
03 Po objavljenih raziskavah se lahko skle‐ pa, da je za MSP, ki so prejela podporo inkubatorja, bistveno manj verjetno, da bodo v prvih letih po ustanovitvi doživela neuspeh.
The general 3‐year sur‐ vival rate of new companies is around 56 %3, whereas the rate for companies which have been assisted by business incubators is around 90 %4. 
Splošna triletna stopnja preživetja novih podjetij je približno 56 %3, za podjetja, ki so jim pomagali podjetniški inkubatorji, pa ta stopnja znaša približno 90 %4.
04 The incubation process is most effec‐ tive if it is individually tailored to the specific needs of the entrepreneur. 
04 Proces inkubiranja je najbolj učinkovit, če je prilagojen posebnim potrebam posameznih podjetnikov.
The scope, variety and intensity of support depends on various factors. In gen‐ eral, though, it varies according to the stage of the assisted company in its life cycle (e.g. establishment, expansion), the market sector it operates in (e.g. information and communication tech‐ nology, biotechnology) and the type of business which it is (e.g. start‐up, spin‐off).5 1 Ecorys, EU SMEs in 2012: at the crossroads, European Commission, September 2012 (http://ec.europa.eu/ enterprise/policies/sme/ facts‐figures‐analysis/ performance‐review/files/ supporting‐documents/2012/ annual‐report_en.pdf). 
Na obseg, raznolikost in intenzivnost podpore vpliva več dejavnikov, na splošno pa se razlikuje glede na stopnjo življenjskega cikla ocenjenega podjetja (npr. ustano‐ vitev, razširitev), tržni sektor, v katerem to deluje (npr. informacijska in komuni‐ kacijska tehnologija, biotehnologija) in vrsto podjetja (npr. zagonsko podjetje, odcepljeno podjetje).5 1 ECORYS, EU SMEs in 2012: at the crossroads (MSP v EU leta 2012: na razpotju), Evropska komisija, september 2012 (http://ec.europa.eu/ enterprise/policies/sme/ facts‐figures‐analysis/ performance‐review/files/ supporting‐documents/2012/ annual‐report_en.pdf).
2 Gross value added is the value of products and services produced minus the cost of all inputs and raw materials that are directly attributable to that production. 
2 Bruto dodana vrednost je vrednost proizvedenih proizvodov in zagotovljenih storitev, od katere se odštejejo stroški vseh vložkov in surovin, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati tej proizvodnji.

Definition of a business incubator A business incubator is an organisation designed to support the successful establishment and further devel‐ opment of enterprises. 
Opredelitev podjetniškega inkubatorja Podjetniški inkubator je organizacija, namenjena podpori uspešnega ustanavljanja in nadaljnjega razvoja pod‐ jetij.
It often offers access to physical business infrastructure, individually tailored business support services and networking opportunities. 
Pogosto nudi dostop do fizične poslovne infrastrukture, posameznemu podjetju prilagojenih podpornih dejavnosti za podjetja in priložnosti za mreženje.
Incubators vary in many ways, in particular in the scope of the incubation programmes they offer, in their internal organisation, in the economic sector they specialise in and in the types of clients they serve. 
Inkubatorji se med seboj razlikujejo na več načinov, zlasti po obsegu programa inkubiranja, ki ga nudijo, notra‐ nji organizaciji, gospodarskem sektorju, za katerega so specializirani, in po vrstah uporabnikov, ki jih podpirajo.

The objective is to increase the chance that the entrepreneurs will be able to create a business effec‐ tively, and proceed successfully to the start‐up phase. 
Njen cilj je povečati možnost, da bodo podjetniki lahko učinkovito ustvarili podjetje in ga uspešno vodili do zagonske faze podjetja.
Typical services provided at this stage include a first assessment of the business idea and individual guidance on all aspects of preparing a business plan. (b) Incubation. This stage begins when the SME starts up, and ends at the moment when it becomes self‐sustainable and prepared to operate independently on the free market. 
Značilne storitve, ki se v tej fazi zagotavljajo, vključujejo prvo oceno poslovne ideje in po‐ sameznemu podjetju prilagojeno usmerjanje pri vseh vidikih pripra‐ ve poslovnega načrta. (b) Inkubacijska faza: ta faza se začne ob ustanovitvi MSP in konča v trenutku, ko postane samozado‐ stno in pripravljeno za neodvisno delovanje na prostem trgu.
This stage lasts for around 3 years. 
Ta faza traja približno tri leta.
During this time, (c) the incubator offers access to finance, training and coaching for entrepreneurs, as well as to networks of potential business and technology partners, office space and, in some cases, access to fully equipped laboratories, workshops and prototyping facilities. 
V tem (c) obdobju inkubator nudi dostop do financiranja, izobraževanja in usposabljanja za podjetnike, pa tudi do mrež potencialnih po‐ slovnih in tehnoloških partnerjev, pisarniških prostorov in včasih do povsem opremljenih laboratorijev, delavnic in objektov za ustvarja‐ nje prototipov.
Physical incubation (when companies are actually present in the incubator) is important in certain economic sectors (e.g. biotechnology and ad‐ vanced materials). 
Fizična inkubacija (kadar so podjetja dejansko priso‐ tna v inkubatorju) je pomembna v nekaterih gospodarskih sektorjih (npr. biotehnologija in sodobni materiali).
In some sectors, though, (e.g. software develop‐ ment), virtual incubation can also be an effective solution. 
V nekaterih sektorjih (npr. razvoj programske opreme) pa je lahko uspešna rešitev tudi virtualna inkubacija.
Post‐incubation. This stage com‐ prises activities carried out when a company has reached operation‐ al and financial independence and is capable of continuing operations without external support. 
Poinkubacijska faza: ta faza zajema dejavnosti, ki se izvajajo, ko podje‐ tje doseže operativno in finančno samostojnost ter je sposobno ne‐ prekinjenega delovanja brez zuna‐ nje podpore.
Various services may still be needed by the SME — for example, measures aimed at increasing its levels of sales, improving its productive processes using methods such as internationalisation, or introducing innovation. 
MSP lahko še vedno potrebuje razne storitve, na primer ukrepe za povečanje stopnje prodaje, izboljšanje proizvodnih postopkov z uporabo metod, kot je internacionalizacija, ali za uvajanje inovacij.

Introduction 09 How does the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) support business incubators? 
Uvod 09 Kako Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) podpira podjetniške inkubatorje?
06 Together with regional convergence and European territorial cooperation, increasing regional competitiveness and employment are the main objec‐ tives of the EU’s cohesion policy. 
06 Poleg regionalnega zbliževanja in evropskega teritorialnega sodelovanja spada krepitev regionalne konkurenč‐ nosti in zaposlovanja med glavne cilje kohezijske politike Evropske unije.
In practice, the Structural Funds and in particular the European Regional De‐ velopment Fund (ERDF) are the main sources of EU funding for programmes supporting SMEs. 
V praksi so strukturni skladi, zlasti Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj (ESRR), glavni vir sredstev EU za pro‐ grame v podporo MSP.
07 The Structural Funds are programmed and budgeted for a 7‐year period. 
07 Strukturni skladi se programsko na‐ črtujejo in vključujejo v proračun za sedemletna obdobja.
The total Structural Funds budget for the 2000–06 programming period was around 225 billion euro; for the 2007– 13 period, the total budget was around 345 billion euro. 
Skupni proračun strukturnih skladov za programsko obdobje 2000–2006 je znašal pribli‐ žno 225 milijard EUR, za obdobje 2007– 2013 pa okoli 345 milijard EUR.
The funds earmarked for the support of SMEs amounted to 23 billion and 15 billion euro respec‐ tively. 
Sred‐ stva, namenjena za podporo MSP, so znašala 23 oziroma 15 milijard EUR.
There are no available figures on the amounts specifically dedi‐ cated to the development of business incubators. 
O višini zneskov, posebej namenjenih razvoju podjetniških inkubatorjev, ni razpoložljivih podatkov.
08 The Structural Funds are subject to shared management. 
08 Za strukturne sklade se uporablja deljeno upravljanje.
It does so by assessing the operation of national management systems and approving operational programmes. 
To nalogo opravlja tako, da ocenjuje delovanje nacionalnih sistemov upra‐ vljanja in odobri operativne programe.
