In particular, this is shown in the following permanent activities:

The procedure developed by the park serves to support the named activities, for which the following tools are significant: foundation of public consulting units for technology and innovation. For this targeted company visits and technological preliminary investigations (pre-audits) are organised in operating sites. The companies are provided on the one hand with widely varying information and, on the other hand, with initial support both for the initiation of new innovation-based business proclivities and also for die upvaluation of human resources. The consulting unit is supported by an observatory, which is organised according to existing innovation readiness of SMEs of diverse branches/selected areas.
In addition, the Salerno Science and Technology Park and AIC have promote and managed a corporate incubator since 2004 for the ICT segment in Benevento. The incubator has a series of equipped areas. Hereby, on the one hand, the establsihment of new high-tech companies is to be supported and, on the other hand, companies with innovative development programmes are to be attracted. In the incubator, the companies are offered basic services in relation to area usage. The management of the park takes on the periodic monitoring of the corporate performance.

In order to extend further the assistance for company foundations and development, the Science and Technology Park Salerno and A.I.C., in coordination with the Community of Cava de’ Tirreni, plans the setting up of an Innovation Centre. This Innovation Centre is aimed with its incubators, in particular, at companies with a high degree of expertise.
