Incubators &
Entrepreneurship Centers
Entrepreneurship centers in our network include incubators, accelerators, small business development centers (SBDC’s), and other organizations. These centers support startup companies in rural, urban, and developing countries around the world.
Shared
Workspaces
The explosion of coworking and makerspaces has created a renaissance era in shared workspaces. Shared spaces enable diverse groups of entrepreneurs, remote workers, and other independent professionals to share resources, knowledge, and networks.
University
Entrepreneurship Centers
Our network of universities are critical for the commercialization and incubation of startups. Some of the more prominent industries include “deep tech” fields like biotech, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, which are led by students and researchers that leverage university labs and resources to launch their companies.
Government & Economic Development Organizations
EDO’s and government policy makers are quickly realizing that startups and small businesses drive job creation faster than large corporations. The rise of innovation districts and investment in entrepreneurial economic development is critical for job creation and economic prosperity.
Collaboration is key
Entrepreneurs face many common challenges as they seek to transform their ideas into high-growth companies. Business incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces, and other entrepreneurship support organizations are critical to their success because they provide connections to the right mentors, education, partners, community influencers, and investors that are essential to their growth.
