Incubators are programs that accelerate the successful development of start-up companies by providing entrepreneurs with an array of targeted resources and services. These services are developed or orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the business incubator and through its network of contacts. A business incubator’s main goal is to produce successful firms that will leave the program financially viable and freestanding. Incubator graduates have the potential to create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods, commercialize new technologies, and strengthen local and national economies. If you have an incubator in Massachusetts that offers services to clean energy companies and would like to be included on this list, please email us.
