The USINE project added an international dimension to Bielefeld's pre-incubation concept. As technology-based business ideas have a high potential for economic exploitation on the internal European and international markets, entrepreneurs admitted to USINE pre-incubators were trained also on internationalisation aspects.

By organising train-the-trainer workshops, the Israeli partner Dimotech and Strathclyde University assisted the three pre-incubators in setting up training measures to provide entrepreneurs with knowledge on international aspects of entrepreneurship. The first workshop was held in Israel from 21-25 January 2001 and the second in Scotland from 26-30 March 2001.
