Global Summit of Business Incubation Associations
The Global Summit is a meeting of leading representatives of national and international, formal and informal business incubation associations. The Summit meets at least once a year at a significant business incubation conference.
Initiated by the National Business Incubation Association, NBIA,the first five Summits were held in the US at conferences of the NBIA. The Sixth Summit, hosted by the ADT, Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Technologie- und Grunderzentren (Association of German Business Incubation and Technology Centers) and SPICE Group was the first one held in Europe. While the first Summits where more informal meetings to learn to know each other, the following Summits agreed on Internal Agreements and/or Resolutions covering topics of importance for the future development of the business incubation industry.
