Incubating New York’s Future
Dedicated to nurturing early-stage ventures, incubators across New York State campuses vary in the way they deliver their services and in the types of clients they serve. All aim to accelerate economic growth and revitalization in the state, and many are enormously successful. The South Side Innovation Center (SSIC), an incubator program at Syracuse University, for example, was named incubator of the year by the National Business Incubator Association. For a list of incubators supported by private, not-for-profit colleges and universities, see below.
