Featured at this year's conference was Small Business 2000 host and creator Hattie Bryant. She noted that business incubators offer services targeted to the needs of start-up and fledgling firms. They accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies by providing mentoring, support services and professional advice. In many cases, these services and rental space are offered at below-market rates by governments and agencies seeking to encourage new business, job creation and technology transfer. Ms. Bryant concluded by stating that there are currently more than 550 incubators in North America serving more than 7,500 fledgling firms.
Incubators open at a rate of one per week.
