UK Business Incubation (UKBI) has been the UK’s principal and successful authority on incubation, incubation development and good practice since 1998. UK has nearly 300 Business Incubators now and UKBI has helped the UK government and regional development agencies to build a thriving business incubation infrastructure, making increasingly significant contributions to local, regional and national economic growth, as thousands of incubated clients move out of incubation environments and achieve sustainable commercial success in their own right.
