Serving a diverse group of entrepreneurship centers, program managers, directors, and policymakers, we help guide, mentor, and develop sustainable entrepreneur support programs in every industry and demographic around the globe.

Our mission is to help communities enable their entrepreneurs to transform their dreams into innovative businesses that make global prosperity a reality.

We are a global network

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 education, mentors, partners, community influencers, and investors that are essential to their growth.

An InBIA membership means you’re joining a global community of your peers and other entrepreneurship support organizations that include a network of mentors, partners, influencers, and ecosystem builders. As an InBIA member, you will have direct access to our global network as well as a wide range of industry leadership and resources. To learn more about membership, click below.
