It’s the only place in Cleveland outside of a major healthcare or academic institution where startups in these sectors can conduct the research needed to commercialize their technologies.

Incubation space like this removes a significant barrier to growth by providing not just lab space but also shared services and infrastructure, which are critically needed to attract new entrepreneurial talent when they are choosing where to launch a startup. Availability of incubator space, in close proximity to Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University, is also part of Cleveland’s competitive advantage over other top biomed cities, where incubation space can often be triple the cost or more.
