PROJECT

CATTIA

CATTIA Brașov, the home of Centru Innovation Valley

From idea to impact

CATTIA is Brașov’s integrated ecosystem for economic growth and innovation

A place where entrepreneurs start, companies grow, research reaches the market and people meet to build what comes next.

Founded by the Municipality of Brașov and administered by Iceberg+, CATTIA brings together four connected functions under one roof: Business Centre, Business Incubator, Technology Transfer, and Events & Expo.

This matters because CATTIA is a working platform for Brașov and Romania’s Centru Region - activated through Iceberg+’s experience in innovation, digital transformation, startup support, technology transfer, European projects and ecosystem building.

Through Iceberg+, the CATTIA community can access European networks and opportunities such as EIT, EDIH/FIT, Enterprise Europe Network – a true and functional Centru Innovation Valley.

CATTIA gives the regional ecosystem a home. Iceberg+ helps turn that home into a place where things actually happen.

One place

Four ways to grow

1. Business Center

From space to ecosystem

CATTIA offers professional workspaces for companies, teams and projects that need room to grow.

What you gain

A professional base in Brașov

Functional spaces for daily work and meetings

Access to events, partners and business opportunities

proximity to the innovation ecosystem of the city and region

The CATTIA Business Incubator supports people and companies at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey.

It is designed for business ideas, startups and early-stage companies that need structure, mentoring, consultancy, workspace and access to networks.

The support can cover the full growth path: pre-incubation, incubation and post-incubation / acceleration.

Mentoring and applied business consultancy

4. Events & Expo

From meetings to collaboration

What you gain

Flexible indoor and outdoor event spaces

Conference, workshop and exhibition infrastructure

Access to a business and innovation community;

Support for event planning and logistics;

The possibility to connect your event with the wider CATTIA and Iceberg+ ecosystem

Why Iceberg+ at CATTIA matters

Iceberg+ administers CATTIA as an ecosystem operator, not just as a facility manager.

This role is strategic for Brașov and Romania’s Centru Region because it connects the physical infrastructure of CATTIA with programmes, partnerships, expertise and European networks that are already active.

Through Iceberg+, CATTIA residents and partners can access:

EIT innovation communities and programmes

EDIH/FIT digital transformation and test-before-invest services

Enterprise Europe Network support for international partnerships;

Centru Innovation Valley as a regional and European convergence platform;

Iceberg+ expertise in funding, innovation, business development and technology transfer.

For companies, startups, researchers and public institutions, this means that CATTIA is not an isolated local space. It is a point of entry into a wider ecosystem.

Who CATTIA is for

CATTIA is built for:

Entrepreneurs and startup founders

Companies and SMEs

Researchers, universities and RDI organisations

Public institutions

Business support organisations;

investors, mentors and ecosystem partners.
