The Business incubator Torpedo is a part of the Development agency of PORIN Rijeka. The incubator" provides its entrepreneurs foremostly with premises,
administrative and business support, while the Town of Rijeka provides financial support in the form of specified-purpose entrepreneurial loans for the acquisition of fixed assets required for the production of their products. All the members of the entrepreneurial incubator have been granted favourable interest-free long-term loans.
The incubator members do not need to set aside funds for purchasing telephones, faxes, PC-s or similar office equipment, as this equipment, as well as a secretary, is at their disposal at the incubator head offices at a fee for services rendered.

The basic criteria applied in choosing tenants for the incubators are as follows:
• Development of an oriented production program or a service trades program connected with production; and
• The carrier of the programme should be an entrepreneur-beginner or an entrepreneur not previously independently engaged in production.

At the moment there are 17 tenants in the Incubator.
The goal behind the Incubator establishment is to form a significant number of new, small and medium sized enterprises, with a view to first providing subsistence to those entrepreneurs with sound production programs, and then to create conditions for their unhindered development until the time these enterprises will have grown strong enough with a clear concept of development and a firm management to expand to new markets.
