Sponsorship

Business incubators nurture the development of entrepreneurial companies, helping them survive and grow during the start-up period, when they are most vulnerable. Incubators provide their members with targeted resources and services that help ensure that their companies will leave the incubation program financially viable and freestanding. These incubator graduates have the potential to create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods, commercialize new technologies, and strengthen local and national economies.

NBIA supports the business incubation industry by providing services including training, research and information clearinghouse activities to bring excellence to the process of assisting early-stage companies. In short, NBIA provides professional development resources to the people who help entrepreneurial companies grow.
