Incubator/Accelerator Summit Information

 Incubator Summit

 

You are invited to join us for this free event on March 12!

On March 12, Jackson Community College, Baker College, and Spring Arbor University are sponsoring and co-hosting an Incubator Summit to gain best practice knowledge about how incubators/accelerators are typically structured; to identify ideal incubator/accelerator characteristics essential for Jackson County growth, and identify subcommittee members to address the gap.  Everyone is invited; especially current, future and potential entrepreneurs, business students, business leaders, local units of government, economic development groups...and anyone interested in helping Jackson get on road to economy recovery!

The day will start with speaker Chuck Stein of SDS, a member of NBIA, who will help describe the critical components of a successful incubator.  Facilitated break-out sessions will follow where groups of approximately 10 will begin to brainstorm incubator ideas for Jackson County.  Larry Molnar, president of MBIA, will close up the session by addressing the facilitated ideas and how they relate to the steps in starting an incubator in Michigan’s economy.
