The center, located in Crete's largest city, is designed to support technology development, entrepreneurship, and research initiatives in the region. While the facility primarily serves local businesses and researchers, it signals Heraklion's growing role as a hub for innovation in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Heraklion is easily accessible by ferry from Athens (Piraeus port) and by direct flights from major European cities, making it a practical base for exploring central and eastern Crete.
