  The dilaton-gravity sector of a linear in the scalar curvature, scale
invariant Two Measures Field Theory (TMT), is explored in detail in the context
of closed FRW cosmology and shown to allow stable emerging universe solutions.
The model possesses scale invariance which is spontaneously broken due to the
intrinsic features of the TMT dynamics. We study the transition from the
emerging phase to inflation, and then to a zero cosmological constant phase. We
also study the spectrum of density perturbations and the constraints that
impose on the parameters of the theory.
