Immigrant investors participate in private partnerships that develop business incubator space for new and emerging companies.
Industrial incubators are business assistance programs targeted to start-up and fledgling firms.
The industrial incubator provides an environment that supports young companies during their critical start-up period. Incubator client companies receive affordable shared facilities in prime light manufacturing areas. In addition, they have access to shared office equipment including copy, postal and fax machines, fork lifts, pallet jacks, dock high, drive-through and rail loading bays. In 1980, less than 10 incubators existed worldwide. Today, there are approximately 1,100 incubators world-wide, with nearly half of those located in the United States.
