General Facts about an
Incubator. [Source: National Business Incubation
Association (NBIA)] -- North American incubator client
companies and graduate companies have created about half
a million jobs since 1980. -- Every 50 jobs created by
an incubator client company generate approximately 25
more jobs in the same community. -- In 2001 alone, North
American incubators assisted more than 35,000 start-up
companies that provided full-time employment for nearly
82,000 workers and generated annual earnings of more
than $7 billion. -- Research has shown that for every $1
of estimated public investment provided, the incubator
clients and graduates of NBIA-member incubators generate
approximately $30 in local tax revenue alone. --
Publicly supported incubators create jobs at a cost of
about $1,100 each, whereas other publicly supported job
creation mechanisms cost more than $10,000 per job
created. |
