Why Incubate?

With over 2.2 million people living in the Hudson Valley, it is the third largest region in New York State. Its growth from 1990 to 2002 was 9.9%, second only to New York City*. The Valley is home to several notable colleges with highly respected curriculums in business, engineering, and information technology. It is a region rich with engineers, researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and new product creations who can take full advantage of the region’s long history of technology development and world-class computer manufacturing.

The proven success of business incubation, combined with the size, demographics and growth rate of the Hudson Valley, along with an unsurpassed quality of life, make the Hudson Valley an excellent venue for regional incubation.
