Illinois University Incubator Network

Illinois University Incubator Network

The Illinois University Incubator Network supports entrepreneurship by providing resources, technical assistance, and guidance to university incubators.

The Network assists incubators and the entrepreneurial ecosystems associated with higher education in 10 Illinois counties. These counties represent distressed regions in need of economic development assistance.

Institutions and other incubators south of I-80 may join the EDA University Center Small Business Assistance Program.
