The unique challenges entrepreneurs face in developing a business idea or new technology are complex, and can quickly become barriers to growth. Incubators have gained much traction amongst start-ups and investors over recent years, and are recognised for the dedicated support they offer to early stage companies with an ambition to grow. Whether it be access to physical space, or a network of entrepreneurs, advisors and partners, a Business Incubation Centre offers a start-up all the tools it will need.
