Innovation for a Strong Economy
Sample
the flavors of San Antonio, Texas, at NBIA’s 22nd International
Conference on Business Incubation. As suggested by our theme —
Innovation for a Strong Economy and Healthy Planet — the
conference will explore how incubation can have a positive effect on
the environment in addition to spurring economic development across
the globe. Among the extensive topics covered, some of the educational
sessions will address how to work with clients developing clean technologies
and how to incorporate “green” practices in your program.
Other sessions, discussions and workshops will highlight topics such
as client funding, incubator funding, client services, industry best
practices and more.
After
days filled with intensive training, you'll enjoy having time in the
evenings to relax and network with peers. The conference headquarters
hotel is located on the River Walk, an oasis of shopping and dining
in the middle of the city, and close to the historic Alamo. With so
many options for professional development and after-hours fun, NBIA’s
22nd International Conference on Business Incubation promises an unforgettable
experience for all who attend.
