I think incubation provides very definite values that don't get recognized often enough. NBIA is the world's leading organization advancing business incubation and entrepreneurship. It provides thousands of professionals with the information, education, advocacy and networking resources to bring excellence to the process of assisting early-stage companies.
Business incubation catalyzes the process of starting and growing companies.
A proven model, it provides entrepreneurs with the expertise, networks and tools they need to make their ventures successful. Incubation programs diversify economies, commercialize technologies, create jobs and build wealth. Today, there are more than 900 of these programs in the United States, up from 12 in 1980. Cattey has served as executive director of BTC since 1990. He has overseen its transformation from a struggling incubator to its relocation and expansion into a modern facility.
