What is business incubation?
Incubation nurtures young firms, helping them to survive and grow during the critical start-up period. The UNI-RBC houses seven office suites dedicated to the purpose of providing young businesses with affordable rental rates, shared office services, access to equipment, and expandable space - all under one roof. Suites in the UNI-RBC range in size from 100 to 250 square feet.
